I've sat by you for days now
And watched you slowly disappear
I looked into your eyes once
And promised you my years
I held your hand in mine once
And gave my heart to you
This band of gold you wear
That day I gave too you
I've watched you slowly fade away
Leaving a little more each day
I've watched the sparkle in your eyes
And your life just drain away
They say it's time to give up
Just to let you go
They say the fight is over
You won't come back to me
It's hard for me to do this
I've loved you half my life
You've been the only one for me
But I have to make it right
With shaky hands and tear filled eyes
I walk around your bed
Reach out and turn the switch off
For you are already dead
This shell is just a reminder
Of what you once have been
You're no longer in there sweetheart
This I've know and seen

This was very well-written. To watch the person you love slip away right in front of your eyes truly is heart-breaking. Thanks for your entry

this is very deep, i love how you gradually reveal the decay of your love.
