Seven years since the diagnosis
Now he sits with her beside her bed
Looking into her eyes
as she utters the words
"My beloved, I wish you well.
Thanks for being with me through my hell."
She feels it's time to move on.
Closes her eyes. Now she's gone.

------------------------
"Eternal life"
"She's in a better place"

Even if he believes their stories
Can it rid him of the pain?

"Do not feel despair"
"You will see her again"

Their words give little consolation
Because they won't bring back his loved one
------------------------

As the hours go by
His pain is turning numb
And as the hours extend to days
The numbness fades away
After a while his pain grows even stronger
He feels his wounds won't heal
His grieving goes on forever

Countless prayers
Numerous pleas

Feels impossible
Trying to proceed

Falling deep
into despair

Holding on
the last strand of hair

------------------------
"Eternal life"
"She's in a better place"

Even if he believes their stories
Can it rid him of the pain?

"Do not feel despair"
"You will see her again"

Their words give little consolation
Because they won't bring back his loved one
