It starts out as a peck on the check
A little wind blowing by you, almost unnoticable at first
It becomes a bit more intimate, lips beginning to touch
Death then moves into your heart, where it makes it’s final stand
Waiting for me to give up to and say I can take no more
HE waits for my weakness
HE waits for my sadness
HE laughs at my prayers
I must keep my eyes shut so HE won’t see me
My breathing is hard, I wish they would take this weight off my chest to make it easier
Something warm just ran over me, it is a calming force
It is a soothing force
Maybe I can just peek to see if she is there
Why can’t I hear anything clearly. All I know is the kiss I felt on my cheek today
I wonder if it was from her
I have always loved her and never wanted her to see me this way, but I would love to see her just once more
Once more before I fall asleep
Once more before I am kissed again
Once more before I fall asleep
I lie panting on the gurney with my eyes closed
I can’t open them for fear of what the real world will show me
There are tubes tied to me, what are they doing, what are the fluids that they give me
I can hear voices in the distance
They talk about me as if I am not there, and I am not
They sound familiar, they sound sad
I must keep my eyes shut so HE won’t see me
My breathing is hard, I wish they would take this weight off my chest to make it easier
Something warm just ran over me it is a calming force
It is a soothing force
Maybe I can just peek to see if she is there
What is that infernal beeping, and that relentless pressure on my chest
Why can’t I hear anything clearly. All I know is the kiss I felt on my cheek today
I wonder if it was from her
I loved her and never wanted her to see me this way, but I would love to see her just once more
Once more before I fall sleep
Once more before I am kissed again
Once more before I fall sleep
