Where to from Here - Patient Sixty-Seven

Our new reality;

IV therapy

Oh God, could you please just intervene

What will it take

To not have him taken from me

Can’t you see

How badly our family’s hurting?

This is not the end

I won’t let you go

I can’t let them take you

This hospital bed

Could it take me instead

Just take me instead

Take it back

The shame and the guilt

This sickness has no place

In what we’ve built

I’d kill to have time stand still

To rebuild what’s left

Of our broken will

If circumstances have cut us off

Trying to bare the burden

Of love and loss

My love for you is all I’ve got

And I’ll never let go

No matter the cost

This is not the end

I won’t let you go

I can’t let them take you

This hospital bed

Could it take me instead

Just take me instead

I won’t lose hope

We’ll make it through

Finding the closure to rebuild

These home truths

They hit harder in a home with you

It hits like a fucking train

Seeing you this way

Seeing you in pain

How can I feel empty

Be so weak

When you’re the one

Who needs me

All I feel is anger and sadness

Sadness

I need answers to understand

How this cancer ripped matters

From my family’s hands

Ripped from our hands

Ripped from our hands

Was this always the plan

I need to understand

This is not the end

I won’t let you go

I can’t let them take you

This is not the end

I won’t let you go

I can’t let them take you

This hospital bed

Could it take me instead

Just take me instead

I won’t lose hope

We’ll make it through

Finding the closure to rebuild

These home truths

They hit harder in a home with you
