the end is nigh

The end is nigh!(2009)

Cancer: the end is coming
I can see it as if he's gone
But I don't want him to die
It's been at least six months
Since the doctors caught it
On the tests they ran
He wasn't suppose to live
Until Christmas
But they were wrong.
If it could happen
I wish he could be healed
And the cancer would dissipate
From his whole body
but it's impossible
He has accepted the end
But we don't want
to think about it
He's not dieing of old age
but an illness
we have no control over
I want to be there
while he is still here
while his memory is intact
Before it gets too hard
And he tries to spare us
from seeing the worst
As the end is nigh.
