On Death's Door Part I

Accursed sickness
Wasting my body away
Encased in decay

Terminal
Begging for the end
For my spirit to be freed

Please stay by my side
I know it hurts to see me this way
Please take my hand
Reassure me that my peace draws near

Will you remember me?
Not as I am
But that which I once was
Will you recall the vibrance
I held in my prime?
When you recall my face
Will it be full of laughter?
Promise you won't forget
The vibrance of my life

A pale
Waxen, morbid shell
A hideous shade of myself

My greatest fear
Is this deathly state
Becomes your memory of me

Please calm my fears
Soothe me with tales of better days
So I may drift into the night
A memory of when I felt alive

Will you remember me?
Not as I am
But that which I once was
Will you recall the vibrance
I held in my prime?
When you recall my face
Will it be full of laughter?
Promise you won't forget
The vibrance of my life
