When a loved one is close to death, you have to make every word count. A poem
I see you lying before me
Someone who was once strong enough to balance my world in one hand
Now like this
If you were just sleeping, I could call and you would wake
You do not wake, and you may never wake again

I know you are in there
I know you can hear me
So now I beg you from my heart to come back
Come back to me

Many aches and pains you have
But none can compare to the agony in my heart to see you like this
You were strong in life, and you must be strong now
Give up, and you will stab me in the heart with a knife driven by my own hand

You are all I care about
I love you more than anything under Sun, Moon, or Star
You are my world, my universe, my existance
Oh my darling, my sweet, my most-special dearest friend
As dear to me as the air I breathe, the blood in my broken heart

My life is bonded to yours
If Death took you from me, I would give my own life to bring you back
If you leave this Earth, then I will follow not far behind

You might leave me any moment
If you do, then go with the knowledge that my love for you is eternal
But hang in there, darling, and you will see me soon
