How Could You?

Alone I sit and wait,
hoping everything will turn out ok.
All I hear is the beeping of the machines,
telling me nothing will change today.

Confusion races through my mind,
last time we spoke happiness is all I felt.
Yet now i watch you sleeping,
seeing all that was can somehow melt.

I hope and pray for your eyes to open,
for you to turn and smile.
For you to tell me your sorry,
and that family makes life worth while.

I told you I'd always be here,
to pick you up if you're ever down.
I'd tell you things will get better,
and watch you lose your frown.

How could you do this,
how could you just leave me behind?
Family will always be here for you,
don't hide your fears and act blind.

Please come back and face me,
take responsibility for what you've done.
Please open your eyes and smile,
knowing you'll always be my number one.
