She walked in the room where he

Lay his head for the last time

She spoke to the icons on the wall

They lost their amber glow

She cried

Cold pavement under feet

As she walked away from that room

As she experienced the death and the decay

All she wanted was more than he could give

All she wanted was for him to live

She cried

She walked in the room where he

Lay his head for the last time

She spoke but her words

They silently fell to the floor

She looked like the blanche on the window shade

She could not belive it

She hoped the inevitable would be postponed

But it already came

All she wanted was for her son to live
