You were my life support. You kept my heart beating even when it was destined to stop. You kept me alive without actually letting me live. You kept me to keep me from moving on. You held on so you wouldn’t have to let go. Your not ready to say goodbye yet, even when you know my time with you is running out. Now its time to turn off that life support and just pray for that miracle I’ll still be alive.
