Heart rate dropping,
Numb body,
I know what is happening,
But can show nobody
My eyes turn pale,
While my brain tells me to stay calm,
And I know this is it,
Something I never hoped for
Religious that I am,
I pray even now for another chance,
At a distance I can hear,
the ventilator go blank
I asked myself, while dying slowly,
A reason for my prayers, even the last minute,
What was I to do even if I were alive?
Second chance so huge, needs to be justified
They say things happen for a reason,
A reasonable count for,
As much as we might strive,
It is a lost cause
