Jeanne Mae Paig Poet Dramatic Verse

Take My Body

I saw you on that white bed
You looked so beautiful with eyes close
A lot of vines attached to your head
You seemed so comfortable, I supposed


I sat next to you on a vacant space
You were peacefully sleeping still
I held your hand and caressed your face
I know or may not know how you feel


You opened your eyes and looked at me
I smiled so wide and said “Hi”
To be with you is all I want to be
But you kept on bidding your goodbye


I can see your pain but there’s nothing I can do
You said how much you love me
And God knows how much I love you too
Please, take my body. Just take my body.
My constant cry.
