Love on Life Support

What is the right thing to do when love is on life support
Keep hoping against hope or prematurely pull the cord
How long do you go on waiting for it to be revived
Is it even considered love if it’s not really alive?
If it doesn’t do the things that love usually does
And serves more as a reminder of what it once was
In a state with no change, as far as you can tell
And every attempt at recovery has already failed
As you see it there, you feel obligated to keep trying
You feel the love alive but you see that it is dying
The more effort you put in, the more strength you lose
Hurting from the fact that you may someday have to choose
How much time is too much, and how much is not enough
A decision that must be made is a decision really tough
Day by day you stand faithfully at loves bedside
Fighting back the tears swallowing them with pride
Remembering the beginning, thinking dreadfully of the end
Who could survive this and ever want to live it again
