I Can Wait

«I fear I can’t go on» she said
«I think I would be better dead»
She knelt, she cried, and I held her hand
I thought I knew what she was feeling
She turned to close a door and I
Assisted in a suicide
Now that she’s on the other side
I know what she was after
And I, I, I can wait
Yes, I, I, I can wait
A cold and wet November’s day
We lowered her into a grave
I’d never seen her look so brave
Now worms consume her body
