New work

I’m so glad that you fought

I’ll miss you when you’re gone

Why do we have to die?

I don’t like to think of it

I don’t like to think why

.

I see how much you suffer

I see how much you cough

It has been months now

I’m sure you’ve had enough

.

I’m not ready to say goodbye

I just cannot accept

I still need you in my life

I have nothing left

.

As you look at me you smile

A tear descends your cheek

You struggle with your breathing

You can’t even speak

.

I hold your hand so tightly

Refusing to let go

I’m scared of what is coming next

Because I just don’t know

.

Closing your eyes you fade away

I begin to weep distraught

You’re the bravest person I know

I’m so glad that you fought

  1. Oh, Phil, this is so sad and understandably emotional. Listening to your voice on TikTok brought tears to my eyes, remembering when my Mum was dying. I’m so sorry for your loss – I know how much it hurts. They say the pain lessens in time; I’m not sure about that, personally, but perhaps it does for some. Sending you comfort and peace. Hug X πŸ€—.
