In Agony I Said To You

In agony, I said to you,
"Everything will be alright."
Knowing I would never live
Beyond this precious night.

As I gazed upon your teary eyes
The right words escaped me
Yet, in agony, I said to you,
"Live your dreams and be free."

It took all of my strength
To wipe away your tears
Though my heart was shattered
I smiled to ease your fears.

Through quiet sobs you planted
A kiss upon my sweaty brow
Still, in agony, I said to you,
"Keep the faith. Don't give up now."

For the pain was too great
And my skin was turning blue.
In agony I said my last words to you,
"Thank you for loving me, and remaining true."
