Skin is cool to touch, she’s lost the warmth that we all knew, breathing shallow now and the heart is beating slower too, no sand within the hourglass to spare, the light inside the room is just a glare, those empty sullen eyes can only stare as she smiles and then slowly fades away in the beautiful decay, she’s seeing visions now, that beckon from far beyond the grave, systems shutting down, there’s a matter of moments left to save, we discount the natural order, we are consumed with feeling, we skirt around the border, we only talk of healing, we shy away from reason, we blur the truth with lies, we fear the greater treason of our ungrateful goodbyes, no sand within the hourglass to spare, the light inside the room is just a glare, those empty sullen eyes can only stare, a lifetimes worth of tender loving care, no sand within the hourglass to spare, the light inside the room is just a glare, those empty sullen eyes can only stare, as she smiles and then she slowly fades away.
