Clinging To Consciousness

Your cold hands hold me close,

I struggle frantically to break free.

It’s just too much to take.

My emotions overpower me.

You’re clinging on to consciousness,

While I hold back my tears.

The smell of this hospital is haunting me.

I give in and hold on tightly to your hand.

I know that the words we never said

Are the ones I’ll never forget.

 Thank you for holding me,

Thanks for always being here.

Words don’t always work,

So we don’t need to say goodbye.

But, baby, I’ll always love you,

I promise you that.
