Will i be there

(Verse 1)
They talk about the sickness, the scars, the pain,
But no one mentions the fear that remains.
A shadow so heavy, it crushes the air,
The silence of knowing the end might be there.

Each ache, each twinge, whispers despair,
Is this just the day, or is something still there?
And my children’s laughter—it cuts like a knife,
Because I see their tomorrows, without me in life.

(Pre-Chorus)
Every plan, every dream, every fleeting embrace,
I’m standing here watching, but losing my place.

(Chorus)
Will I be there, when they need me the most?
Will I fade like a whisper, a memory, a ghost?
The fear wraps around me, it won’t let me breathe,
I’m holding so tight, but it’s slipping from me.

(Verse 2)
I laugh with my partner, we’re on borrowed time,
The clock keeps on ticking, the fault isn’t mine.
A dinner, a family, their voices surround,
But I’m stuck on the outside, no longer bound.

My mom, my sister, my friends—will they see
The space that remains where I used to be?
And will they remember, for how long, how clear,
Before I become just a shadowed tear?

(Pre-Chorus)
Every moment, every smile, every hope that I dare,
Becomes bittersweet, ‘cause I know I’m not there.

(Chorus)
Will I be there, when their lives move along?
Will they hum a faint tune of my unfinished song?
So promise me this, before it’s too late,
