Last Breath

This may very well be my last breath
Right here, where I lay
In this cold hospital bed
The room smells of disease and death
It’s so cold that I can see my breath

I lay staring at the ceiling
Wondering,
Is it really going to end like this?
Is that really all?
Lying right here in this hospital bed?

I feel so weak
My heart so small
I’ve never known so much pain
And some how I just know,
I will never feel anything again

My chest tightens up
It’s getting harder to breath
I just want the pain to go away
Even if it means
That I will never see another day

I hear the sound of alarms now
As my heart rate plummets
Things around me start to fade to black
I’m going now, and quickly
No medical attention can stop that

The doctors and nurses surround me
They look worried,
Tying to decide what to do
But they are left flabbergasted
Because there’s nothing they can do
They’ve already tried everything
This is the end it’s true

The sirens they sing
And slowly die away
They are now pulling the sheet over my face
Can it be?, It can’t!
I can’t really be dead!
I can’t die here!
Not in this hospital bed!

I’m not ready to say goodbye
This isn’t the way it was suppose to end
My life cut short, on this hospital bed
If I still could, I’d weep
But my eyes, now life less,
Have no tears to spare

All that’s left is a memory
That I was once there
Living my life with out a care
Slowly fading from the fabric of reality
Until I simply wasn’t there

But none of that matters
It’s all over now
Nothing can beat death
Or change reality
This is just the way it must be
Goodbye everyone,
I’ve finally been set free
