I held your hand listening to the monitors beep your life away,
watching the fading people in white cover there face.
I watched your tan skin fade to pure white
I felt the chill of the emotionless desire to save your life.
I stood by and did nothing,
they stood by drawing blood by the hour.
Your eyes grew heavy until they would not open,
every hour your breath grew sour.
They said you felt nothing
but you screamed for days.
They said you were at peace
but your body twitched and fumbled every which way.
