I stand by your bed side
I can feel you gripping my hand
And the scarely audible moan that escapes from the back of your throat
I watch you barely wince at unbearable pain
As bone slowly breaks through skin
Because you have no flesh left
65 pounds of agony
and God fearing endurance.
tubes and wires and appuratuses
Litter your bedside
And your body.
It hurts me to touch you
But I can't take all the hurt away
and I can feel God damning my soul because of it.
Asking you to hold on
I kiss the back of your hand
And as I say good night
And as I leave your room
I think
Hold on to what?
