well spent

The room is quiet—you are not;

Your dying eyes recall a thought.

Who will be there at night in my bed?

Who will lie on the pillow above my head?

Your breathing has slowed, but not my tears.

While the world turns, so grow my fears.

Who will help me through this next part?

Who will be there from the very start?

You were—and are—my greatest friend,

Together until the very end.

Somehow, still in silence, I can hear

The echo of you, close and near.

Howdy! There is relatable stuff here- dark and twisty and some sentimental garbage. "Don't forget to tip your waitresses" Hi, I am your waitress, let me serve you with more content. Hope you enjoy! :)
