The Best

The best for the best.

Of the most excellent quality
The most desirable
Nothing filled with anxiety
Nothing short of a miracle

Prizewinning, high-grade
First, foremost, optimal
No heavy burden weighed
Not up against the impossible

Never second best
Unsurpassed not simply bearable
Always happy, never depressed
Nothing should be comparable

Oh, my guardian angel
Your life need be spared
My heart the death knell
Always in need of repair

Much more is what you deserve
My soul begs for understanding
Pain shooting through every sensory nerve
The need is there, now, to make this crash landing

Tears flowing from these eyes
Never will EVER say goodbye
Please God, please let him survive
Forcing him to leave me behind

Seeing him happy I'd give up my life
Taking me not needed, I've already died
Fingers running through my hair
Precious memories will always be shared

Behind each smile a hurting heart
Behind the laugh a girl falling apart
I'll do it for him
For my future is grim

The best deserves the best
The best FOR the best

The best will never be me

I can still save your future
