In Your Arms
It's a day as normal as any,
I'm in the bathroom, by the sink,
I reach for the little blue towel, but I'm
down on the floor before I can think

I don't know what's happening
All at once, just so much pain
And all I get is a choking sound
when I try to call his name.

In a moment, the door bangs open
And he drops to his knees by my head.
Apparently he has heard me fall
And I'm thanking god that he did.

"Baby, baby, baby what's wrong,"
he asks with eyes wide and scared.
And I think, for only a moment,
of just how long he's cared.

He scoops me up in his big, strong arms,
and begs me to tell speak, so I say,
"Remember when I went to the doctor?
I came back, and said I'd be ok?"

He nods with dreading caution,
I can see tears, about to fall,
"Well honey, I lied to you that day.
I'm not ok at all."

"But you're going to be ok, right?
You're strong, I know you'll pull through."
I smile the best I can at him, and say,
"Hon, I'm not sure if that's true.

I took the pills, and the medicine,
I always did all that they told me,
I really don't think it helped, but please
All I ask of you now is to hold me."

His tears are falling freely now,
And he tries to get up to the phone,
but I ask him not to leave me,
It's no use, and I can't be alone.

"I'm sorry you met me," I whisper,
"I'm sorry that I put you through this."
He pulls me closer, "Don't say that.
Every day with you has been bliss."

The pain has spread throughout me,
but what really hurts is seeing him crying,
I know that this is the end, now.
This is really it... I'm dying.

"Baby, I have to leave now,
You'll move on, I know you'll be fine.
I'm just glad that you were here to hold me
In your loving arms, one last time."
