One Last Memory

Don't Fade

I listened to the heart monitor beep as it counts down my last day. The clock strikes yet another hour our this miserable life. Why couldn't it just end? Days on end fighting this deadly disease is getting quite tiring.
I took a deep breath and wheezed. I can't even breath correctly. I'm just getting worse. There's no point to continue on if all that is going to happen is this horrendous disease getting worse. I'm getting tired of being hooked up to machines. If I don't die of the cancer soon, I'm pulling my own plug on the never ending cycle of disappointment called life.
The moniter slowly eased its way down. I knew exactly what that meant, and so did Carlie. I gave her a soft look.
"Turn away," I started one of my favorite songs, which just so happened to be named Cancer.
"If you could get me a drink," she continued as I saw tears start to form in her eyes.
"Cause my lips are chapped and faded," my voice was getting dry and scratchy.
"Call my Aunt Marie."
"Help her gather all my things and bury me in all my favorite colors."
"My sisters and my brothers still."
"I will not kiss you." I wheezed out another deep breath as a few tears escaped my best friend's eyes.
"Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you." She gave off a small hiccup.
"Turn away."
"Cause I'm awful just to see."
"Cause all." She stopped for a second before continuing, tears spilling from her eyes.
"My hairs abandoned oh my body oh my agony." At this point tears were fighting their way out of my eyes.
" Know that I will never marry!"
"Baby I'm just soggy from the chemo, counting down the days to go," I sang the true words, waiting for my last breath.
"It just ain't living, And I just hope you know!" Carlie's voice was slowly fading out.
"That if you say, goodbye today, I'll ask you to be true."
"Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you." She grabbed my hand while tears streamed down her face.
"Cause the hardest part of this is leaving you." I pointed at my best friend and stared at the clock. I heard the final beep of the heart moniter as my last small breath released my lips. I went with the sobs of my best friend on my chest, pleading me not to go. I wish I could've stayed.
