Her Last 5 Minutes

Must have been a week

Since she drew the curtains down

I don't know if it's night or day

And I don't care

Our hopes seem so bleak

But she's pulling through somehow

While I'm trembling in dismay —

In despair

I can see you're scared and tired of all this

I can see the torment, the damage it has done

Still we both know what the other alternative is —

Not yet the only one

The good moments are brief

And there's nothing I can do

When it comes haunting her again

And turns it worse

She shivers like a leaf

As the waves of pain heave trough

The ruthless bringer of the end:

Fierce, perverse

I can see you're scared and tired of all this

I can see the torment, the damage it has done

Still we both know what the other alternative is —

Not yet the only one

Don't go yet!

Don't let go

Not yet, my only one...

Don't go yet!

I can't let go

Not yet, my only one...
