Tired flesh sagging on aged bones.
A frightened face confused and worn.
The patient speaks,
“I feel so weak.”
I reply,
“You have to eat!”
The medical bills have all been paid.
There is no cure, you feel betrayed.
The patient speaks,
“I feel so weak.
I reply,
“You have to eat!”
No more drugs, no more hope.
No one tells you how to cope.
The patient speaks,
“I feel so weak.”
I reply,
“You have to eat!”
You make plans for when you’re stronger.
I ask the doctor “How much longer?”
The patient speaks,
“I feel so weak.”
I reply,
“You have to eat!”
You’re still hoping for a future.
I pray you won’t have to suffer.
The patient speaks,
“I feel so weak.”
I reply,
“You have to eat!”
I wonder if when you die.
I’ll have the strength left to cry.
The patient speaks,
“I feel so weak.”
I reply,
“You have to eat!”
I apologise to my friends for my apparent lack of interest.
Life and imminent death are keeping me busy.

I really have no idea who you are talking about.
The patient speaks, “I feel so weak.” I reply,“You have to eat!”
No, they don't, if it is the end why try to drag it on?
I wonder if when you die. I’ll have the strength left to cry.
There may not be that need being as you have had time to prepare for it and pre-morn.
Sudden death of a loved one is much harder on a person because they just didn't see it coming.
As for me, I want my death to be a happy occasion for everyone.
Anyway, shoot me an email and tell me just what in the heck you are talking about, maybe I can help you with your feelings. B
