time heals the pain

another hospital
another room
a woman,
she presses the button
more demerol, she can't get enough

i see her, reaching
i think for the button
she is reaching for me
she grabs my hand
looks into my eyes
her eyes, i melt in,
her eyes, keep me going,
they give me faith, they give me hope

she speaks with a voice so kind
so warm, so full of love
with a parched mouth
(i can barely hear her)
i love you, she whispers
i love you too mom
