Been sick for so long
I hope you feel better soon
Dad, where did Mum go?

Stared death in the eye
And it brought me to my knees
Won’t ever get up

Cried myself to sleep
Like I do every night
I wish you were here

This hospital bed
Is my home away from home
Don’t want visitors

Their innocent eyes
Swell with tears. Don’t understand
But something is wrong

Please don’t bring them here
They shouldn’t see me like this
It’s better this way

Silence for minutes
They need to see their mother
Turns her head and hides

Mummy’s gunna die
Heard Uncle Clifford say so
But who’ll cook dinner?

Do it by yourself
Get used to life without me
Why bother moving?

DON’T WANT TO SEE YOU
DON’T WANT TO SEE ANYONE
JUST LEAVE ME ALONE

What’s wrong with Mummy?
Why is she losing her hair?
We want to see her

I can not help her
I can not help anyone
Sorry girls, goodnight

Been alone for days
All I can do here is think
But no clarity

One word for my death
Inevitability
But I’m not dead yet

Want to see the kids
Bring them to the hospital
Want to see them smile

Gunna see Mummy!
They will get to say goodbye
They never made it

Goodbye forever
Please don’t let them forget me
Dying words unheard

This disease, it is
Eating away inside me
Inside all of us
