I did it because I loved you

I did it because I cared for you

Because I held your hand

Because I fed you

And nursed you

I did it because I didn’t want you to be in pain

And because I didn’t want to witness

I did it because you asked

Because you knew it was coming

I did it because you phoned me earlier

And told me how you felt

I did it because there was no one else

Because of the look in your eyes

I did it for you

And only for you

I pulled your plug

And now you are dead

And I live alone
