I Didn't
I didn’t bring a charger.
I didn’t bring a snack.
I’m nervous ‘cause I’m texting you
And you’re not writing back.
The hospital is crowded;
You haven’t yet been seen.
You’re thirsty and I couldn’t help;
I think you think I’m mean.
I’m sitting in a waiting room,
Your sneakers in a bag.
I’m trying to stay calm, while
All my spirits start to sag.
This night will stretch for hours
As I sit alone and mope.
I feel like I don’t have the tools
That I will need to cope.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Right now it’s hours later.
I somehow made it through
And most important, I can breathe
Since, somehow, you did, too.
