When I Died
My soul had risen to God.
My coffee sat untouched,
Notifications left unchecked,
Words left unsaid.
It had been my time for days now.
The doctors kept saying
It was a shock I held on this long.
I felt my breath stop
Heard the constant beep
Of the heart monitor
Nurses and doctors rushed in,
searching for a pulse
that wasn't there
But the worst sound I heard
the one that nearly pulled me
back down to Earth
was my mother,
sobbing for what had been
her baby boy.
