Killing Softly
Laying beside you Listening to you sleep
I worry you will end up like others
I almost feel sorry for them
But they made the choice
A choice they could of changed
Instead they cut away at their life
Removing piece by piece as you do
You don't see what you are doing
Not many do till it's too late
You can't sew something like that back together
You can only medicate and hope for the best
Hope that tissue repairs it's self
Hope that the need for oxygen tank is not there
Hope for a lung transplant and COPD stays away
What would I do without you
With you everything fits
I fit
I no longer feel lost or like an out cast in this world
My life has a real purpose
You must live
With out you life is not worth much
Yes you are young yet
But you slowly kill your self with every drag
I don't want to see you suffering
I want you to be able to play with our kids
Not be strapped to some oxygen tank
Or limited activities do to breathing issues
I sit in silence as you light another
