As I Lie
Dying
Where
were you as I lie dying?
When they stabbed those things into me
And
pasted others on me
Were
you with him or were you at work?
Could
you sense my silent cries for you?
Could
you hear me in your dreams?
Or am
I just an awful memory
That
you are trying to forget?
I asked
them to stop and jab me no more
I am
tired and just want to sleep
You
and I were to grow old and gray together
Live
our lives in love and closeness
Until
we passed in peace
Now I lie here, my time is short
And I
am missing you
Holding
my hand as this time passes
Holding
onto one more breath
As the
time we spent together
Plays slowly
in my mind
As to
live it one more time
Hearing
them say that he’s stopped trying
A
white light pulls at me
And all the sound around me
Fades
into the back ground
My
heart is unchained from you
My
love for you I leave
Lying
on the bed with everything
That
gave me pain and anguish
All I
feel now is love and peace
As the warmth of the Lord fills
me
