Lights Out

Time's almost running out,
You can't stop it dead in its tracks.
Your life is running out,
Your hold on life is growing weaker.

Laying in your bed
waiting for His arms to take you away.
Rivers run around you.
Unknown sobs of people.

A slight grasp upon your hand,
It won't let go.
Whispers "Hold On,"
"Don't leave me."

Your mind frostbitten.
Senses failing.
You whisper,
"I've failed you, my love, I'm sorry"
And then the lights go out.
