Death bed

(guys i'm so sorry but this song is so sad, but so beautiful. So I wanted to make a story for it.)


"You have three broken ribs, and one punctured your lung, you have internal bleeding from your liver, and your heart went into cardiac arrest during surgery. We did all we can, but we could only buy you a little time. I'm sorry."

The doctor left the room leaving me and my girlfriend, Sarah, alone.

The air is thick and I feel like i'm suffocating, I am dying, and I can't do anything about it. 

I raise my hand and touch Sarah's cheek. She puts her hand over mine on the verge of tears.

"Can you sing that little song you used to sing when we were kids" I asks, My voice sounding tired and raspy. She was on the edge of tears, but she did it, mabye because it might be my last wish. She starts singing that tune we made up as kids. The one we made when we met.

"Don't stay away, for too long. Don't go to bed, i'll make a cup coffee! For your head, i'll get you up and going, out of bed."

She sings that tune, and I look up at the ceiling.

I don't want to fall asleep, I don't want to pass away. But here I am, on my deathbed.

I start thinking about Sarah's future, because i'll never see those days.

"I don't know why this happened, but I probably deserve it, I tried to do my best but you know that I'm not perfect" I say. Her voice cracks and tears start falling down her face but she keeps singing

I pray for god to forgive my sins, and I know Sarah is praying for my health. 

I look over at her, and her face. I hope when I leave this earth i'm hoping you'll find someone else.

We are still young, and there was so much we didn't do. Get married, start a family, watch your husband and his son. I wish it could be me, but I won't make it off this bed.

"I hope I go to heaven so I can see you once again. My life was kinda short, but I got so many blessings, i'm happy you were mine, it sucks that it's all ending."

"Don't stay awake, for too long. Don't go to bed I'll make a cup of coffee, for your head. I'll get you up and going, out of bed." Her voice keeps cracking but she continues singing even while she is crying a river.

I feel tears prick at my eyes

"I'm happy that your here with me, i'm sorry if I tear up."

When me and you were younger, you would always make me cheer up. Taking goofy videos and walking through the park. You would jump into my arms every time you heard a bark.

"Woof" I say, she starts crying harder and hugs me.

It's just like when you cuddle in your sheets, you would sing me sound asleep and i'd sneak out through your kitchen at exactly 1:03.

Sundays we went to church and Mondays watched a movie.

I turn my head to face her

Soon you'll be alone, i'm sorry you have to lose me.

She continues singing like she can't stop or doesn't want to stop.

"Don't stay awake, for too long. Don't go to bed I'll make a cup of coffee, for your head. I'll get you up and going, out of bed." 

Her voice starts to grow more distant, and I just feel, so tried.

Her voice is fading away, my eyelids feel heavy, so heavy.

Until I am consumed by darkness.








A year later...

I am clearing out his room. His mom said to take whatever I wanted.

it's been a year since that day.

We were driving, on our way to the beach. When it happened

I still miss him

I'm clearing out his closet when something catches my eye.

A small box. I take it and sit on his bed. 

I open it.

There was a simple, but beautiful necklace inside

There was a note inside saying

"I know you don't like rings, so I got you this. Will you marry me?"

I put the necklace on.

I feel like crying. But now I feel like there is a piece of him always with me.



"Good bye, David"
