People Always Leave

People always leave,
for it is hard to please them all,
when you are stricken with a deadly disease.

When men in white coats
come and fill your mind with false hopes
let them sit in your chair
that they may feel your despair.

People always leave - Why should they stay
People always leave - does it matter anyway

I have nothing left to give,
only the aching for a moment of reprieve,
from the men in the long white coats.

I have killed myself in their stead,
for I cannot endure another shot of hope,
let it end quickly,that I may follow,
the people as they leave me in all this dread.
