In One Night

I was in a room Where I wasn’t supposed to be I looked at her, eyes closed Not looking back at me I began to cry So I went back to the waiting room, But I couldn’t walk in. I saw these people that I once knew Supposed to be my family But haven’t seen in years. So I sat on the floor outside instead Where I couldn’t stop crying But I knew that the ones who cared Would come out to comfort me. The night was long I thought it would never end. I worried so much, That it began to hurt. I couldn’t sleep, I could barely eat. I went back to that room Where I wasn’t supposed to be I looked at her, eyes closed Not looking back at me. But this time I didn’t cry I held my head up high Believing in things would be okay I kissed her good-bye, I knew these would be my final words To someone I loved dear. She was my whole world, And decades later it still brings me to tears.
