Living proof

She cries at the doorway to eternity,

waiting to find something to believe in.

Each second passes by too quickly now,

tears of agony she waits in deep waters.

Nothing to hold onto in faith,

her heart breaks for what she is losing.

Not enough pain to go around,

she takes it all on herself.

Lump has appeared to take away from her life,

now that she feels this there is only one way.

Where she used to hide in the darkness,

now her life is the only proof we need.

So much to gain by just walking away,

in her heart she stands up one last time.

Breaking apart inside for loved ones to know,

as her weakness becomes too unbearable.

One in a million maybe she will be saved,

as others gave their lives to come this far.

A walk to remember a walk to survive,

these colors of life giving proof to this cause.
