• And then pa?

  

  I stand watching you While you fight for your life Your breathing slow, each breath slower than the last I hear the machines beeping, an urgency And then there is silence, they beep no more I see you sleeping Like you’ve dozed off like you used to, before, when we were young while telling a […]
