There are many who cannot articulate to themselves or to their loved one how they feel at the time of this painful separation.

I wrote this for them....

I wrote this for me...

SLEEP ON MY HUSH
Your Grip is weak, as you hold my hand
Your eyes are dull, staring into distant land
You try to smile, dry lips that try to part
The machine beeps, the rhythm of your heart
♦
The candle flame, it flickers in the night
Your chest moves slow, rhythm of the fading light
What once was, is no longer there
Your body is a shell, held aloft by air
♦
Hush my darling, Sleep
Hush my darling, Deep
Your loving soul I keep
My heart rips as I weep
♦
The Journey’s long, we lived a loving life
Many battles fought, we won over strife,
As we lived as one, as we lived in song
No matter what came, Love kept us strong
♦
Don’t want you to hurt, or live in pain
The demon’s had its way, nothing left to gain
No regrets, is what you always said
Not easy for me, sitting by your bed
♦
Hush my darling, Sleep
Hush my darling, Deep
Your loving soul I keep
My heart rips as I weep
♦
Letting you go, the hardest thing I do
What comes next, I don’t know to be true
All I know, is the life you gave me
I look around, is everywhere to see
♦
Promise you this; I’ll try to be brave
I’ll go on, with all the strength you gave
If we come back, in another birth
I want you and no one else on earth
♦
Hush my darling, Sleep
Hush my darling, Deep
Your loving soul I keep
My heart rips as I weep
♦
Hush my darling, Sleep
Hush my darling, Deep….
Hush my darling, Sleep
Hush my darling, Deep….
♦
Hush, my darling….
