Is it time?

When there are no more better days,
it’s time that we part ways.

Tougher times can be endured,
but they’re fueled by joy, which slowly fades
when there are no more better days.

Each intervention, we felt assured,
pursued every avenue so they wouldn’t say
it’s time that we part ways.

It’s hard to observe a slow decline,
but there’s little left of this rose-tinted haze
when there are no more better days.

This isn’t the recovery that we designed.
When the pain is no longer a temporary phase,
it’s time that we part ways.

For every tender moment more,
there’s a price your body pays.
When there are no more better days,
it’s time that we part ways.
