Waiting
In the hospital,
I wait.
In the room
I wait.
Alone.
In the middle
of the night,
I wait.
The nurses,
They go by.
They don’t stop.
Won’t tell me
About you.
If you’re okay.
Won’t tell me
If I’m okay.
Because,
How can I be okay
Without you?
I wait.
I tap and I wait.
I bounce my knee,
And I wait.
They called me.
An accident.
I came.
The world in a blur as I came.
Ran to you. Sped to you.
As fast as I could.
But, too late.
They said ‘wait”.
So, I sit. Tap. Bounce. Pray.
And I wait.
Without you.
Here.
I am here.
Waiting.
To find out if I am
Without you.
If I am forever
Alone.

Love this. Favorite lines, “Here. I am here.” Felt like I was there too. Great job.
