Out of My Sight Out of My Hands

Listen to poem:

they're rolling him away
in a wheelchair
down the hospital hall
out of my reach
cutting the cord
promising to bring him back

they're rolling him away
his future in their hands
leaving me in silence
alone with my fears
wallowing as i wait
with nothing but hope
