Don't Be Brave
By VampireGirl
While you are lying there in the hospitalwith tubes down your throat, your unable to speak and cannot even writea note, While you are lying there you start to cry,And I wonder why I cannot take your place.I understand the pain your in, and I can't stand to see you the way you are.you squeeze my hand, and keep your eyes on mine, every time you blinka tear drop falls, I try so hard not to cry, so it will make you strong.I wonder what makes you hold on,And I wonder if you see angels by your side. I hear that's what happens before you die.They said you had a 30% chance of living, and your heart keeps on giving,and they don't know what else to do.I wonder why god would put you in this place, why he would let you go down in pain.Its been six months, and your still aliveyou were looking worse everyday, you told me you never feared deathbut I knew you did today, You were trying to be brave, you were trying to be strong, But when you were trying to live, I think you were wrong.Did you think you had to live for me? did you care so much that it would of hurt you to see, me cry? So many nights I would sit in a chair right next to your bed,Hoping that you would fall asleep, and close your eyesand by the next morning, you would be dead,No pills, or shots could take away your pain.You pulled out the tubes and screamed out my name, you reached for my handand I grabbed on to you, Just then I knew you decided not to be brave,And I am glad, that you finally gave up on being strong.I hope that you are happy were you belong.
