Kara Vasquez

Stand By My Side

Stand by my side as I close my eyes tight
My heart growing weaker with every thumping beat
And I am encompassed by a deep pain
Nerves jumping and stabbing at me
Screaming my own name asking for help.
 
Stand by my side as my breathing steadies
And my wheels begin to slow
While my body grows weak and frail
And my spirit fades away
Your face becoming a small painting at the end of my tunnel.
 
Stand by my side as the last of my warmth drains from my body
Leaving me a cold and empty shell
As my spirit climbs to a higher new
And I thank you as I go for I was not alone
Because you’re still standing by my side.

(2015)
