Blue is the enemy

Earthly pleasures faded years past
time no more than a jail
allowing thoughts of fleeting sanity
to graze by hourly
telling you of the impossible recovery

Momentarily remembering lost youth
the days taken for granted
a collage of sorrowful misfortunes too
laid out before your mind
wishing for the movie to end

Ears ringing louder with each breath
mask the beeping machines
your tired eyes want to forever close
begging to forget your world
now is not the time to place blame

Across the room you vaguely see

a team responding to the code

paddles banging as you whimper
leave him be he's better off
they know not the pain he's bore

The last attempt, the time is called
he's no longer of this plane
the only feeling that you have
is jealousy for the lucky man
it should have been your flat line

The minority rules

Who would have thought that this day would have ever gotten here?
Why didn't anyone tell me that I needed to keep track of the time?
Do you honestly think I knew all those days were being wasted?
Is there any way that I can somehow go back and change a few things?

Just a few minor things

I didn't think ignoring your needs all those years would cause an end like this.
There had never been any indication that I saw which led me to worry.
Taking things for granted has always been my forte but I guess this teaches me.
If only I could be given the chance for just one more yesterday; to change it.

Just a few minor things

Maybe if I had listened a little closer instead of being so self absorbed.
Perhaps if someone had mentored me on what the true meaning of love was.
I might not even need to ask for this today if I was who you expected me to be.
If I wanted you the way you wanted me, things would have been different.

Just a few minor things
