Scared

You must of been so scared
When you caught that stroke
You must have been so scared
When you gripped your shirt
When you stumbled to the bed
When I wasn’t there
I was so scared 
When I heard about you
I was so scared 
How could I save you
How could I get that plane ticket
Will I get a chance to say sorry
I should’ve said I love you
I brought you a coffee
I should’ve wrote
Send cards
Did something
I could’ve called
I could’ve cared
I could’ve said how was your day
But the rent was late
The kids were bad
I burned the chicken
The car broke again 
You must’ve been so scared
When you heard they told me
When you went to the hospital
When you looked for me
Among the faces of the family
I was so scared when my flight was late
When the storm came
You were…thinking of me
You thought
I must’ve been so scared 
To rush to you
So scared to cry
So scared to admit I missed you
You thought I must’ve been so sad 
To know you how sick you really were
You thought
At the last moment
That I must’ve been so scared
To finally make it there
And the doctors tell me
They’ve done all they can do
There’s nothing more 
And I was so scared
To lose you, 
Mom.
