A fate worse than death

"I love him. I'll love him til the day I die."
My fate is worse than death

The decay started from within
It took control of my body
I began to question if I was even thinking right, walking straight.
What will happen when I can no longer see?
Is this really happening? My own body has turned against me.
I haven't finished living my life, there’s much yet to do...
I wanted to travel, I wanted to see
I want to know my daughters children.

I can’t control who I am; I can’t trust my own mind
I know I've changed. How could I not?
I never wanted this
So I have to know...
How long has it been since you loved me?
What madness is this?
Til death do us part doesn't apply here
You'll leave and I can’t even blame you.
Go. Take what’s left of my heart

But faith remains
It's the only thing that can’t be taken away
Hope. Faith. Trust in God.
Hard to say out loud,
much harder to believe.
And yet it’s all I have
So take my mind, take my soul
the man I love...take my life
