[bodytext] => The Wait A figment of my imagination A whisper in the wind My mind distorts reality As darkness closes in Temporary insanity Encompasses my mind My sense of reality is losing hold The darkness closes in I hear my mother crying She is standing by my bed I try to rise to talk to her But cannot lift my head The disease is eating through me It's now working on my skin The cancer takes ahold again As darkness closes in I dream the dream of dreams Of life without the pain Only to be awoken For the pain has struck again My mother holds my hand I try to hold hers back But the strength has ebbed right through me I can feel my hand go slack She feels so cold to touch Her face becomes a blur I am slipping from this world Death is the only cure I wondered if it was my fault If god was punishing me for a sin I shed my last and only tear As darkness closes in.
