Quietly Kissing Death

What should I've said?

What should I've done?

What should I've guessed?

What sign should I've read on your face,

What sort of friend am I?

I've been so deaf I've been so blind.

I didn't understand your pain

And I feel so guilty my friend

I realise that for you

We didn't count enough to

Give you the strength

To fight for life

To face your pain

You have preferred

To close your eyes and run away.

I imagine your face

Quietly kissing Death

You should

Have found the strength

To fight for life

To face your pain

You have preferred

To close your eyes and run away.

I imagine your face

Quietly kissing Death

I can imagine your face

Quietly kissing death.
