CLOSE CALL

That could've been me
Consoling my grieving heart
Could've been my world
That was torn all apart
What if that had been you?
Who'd been suddenly taken away
And I was the one left behind
Pleading and praying for you to stay
The scare that startled you in December
Left a sorrowful scar on my heart
How could I bear such agony
Knowing we would forever be apart?
I would have been the one
Refusing to believe the truth
Paralyzed, in deep despair
Mourning our adulthood and youth
So, inwardly, I struggle
Confronting my fear and anxiety
Witnessing the devastation I would face
Had you been taken away from me
