Dying

Fractured hands move at an erotic pace on the clock,
No words detected between the tick tocks,
Issuing complaints to a god that isn't really there,
Knowing it's soon to end arouses pain too hard to bear,
Naked truth brings the tears,
Trying to be strong despite the fears,
Love can't stop him from dying,

Picturing heavens and angels flying,
But hopeful thoughts can't sooth this hurt,
Knowing he will just be a corpse beneath the cold dirt,
Nothing is fair, he's just seventeen,
Death does not care, it's too mean,
How do you say goodbye to your best friend,
When you know this is truly the end?

From shooting be be guns,
To playing house at grandmas for fun,
And chasing chickens hoping to make a fast escape,
And fixing a broken vase with duct tape,
Through the years our bond has gotten stronger,
That's why its so hard knowing you can't stay here any longer,

I keep waiting for someone to tell me it's all a lie,
It's getting so hard not to cry,
Cousins, more like sister and brother,
Blood is always thicker than water,
They keep saying it's time to say goodbye,
But how can I when I still can't believe you're going to die?
