Dying Hope

Show me some kindness

For I am dying

A soft touch here

Or a loving glance

Not much to go around

Shan’t ask for more



Stay just a moment

For I am dying

Lend me your tears

Maybe hold my hand

As I go to ground

Shattering oaths you swore



Lie down with me

For I am dying

Await wakening of despair

When I turn cold

Watch hearts being bound

Sealed shut with hoar
