Fading Away

We let our melodies sing loud and clear

But deep down, you are fading away

And soon, silence was all I can hear

I worked up the courage to ask you that day

And the horrifying news that is to come next

Your melody had already started to fade

And now everyday I get is a short text

But the pain on your face is like shade

I spent countless nights researching your condition

I was delusional to think that I can find a cure

But all I can find was how to give you the proper nutrition

My constant worrying has made me unsure

Yet you lay there on the hospital bed with a smile

Even in your condition, you are still trying to let your melody be heard

Maybe it is me that was deaf to your melodic trial

My priorities had been blurred

The melodies I hear is more than just your love

It is our memories and views toward our life choices

Watching you sit there playing with our little dove

Makes me want to sing you a symphony with all our voices
