scared shitless

In the hospital there u lay
I hate seeing in pain this way
They say I wont lose u
But what if I do?
I wouldnt be able to handle it if I ever lost u
Im scared out of my mind
And dont know what to say
I sit here watching u, holding ur hard and thinking I should pray
Praying to no god, but an old friend
One that I kno will always watch over us to no end
A nasty infection but they thought it was worse
I dont know what I would have done if u landed in a hurse
Knowing how I feel about u, and hiding it in fear
What if u didnt feel the same id only shed a tear
Worse has happened but I cut my strand at this
Unable to live, for u I would always miss
Embracing ur hugs, even the softest touch
Never wanting to lose what we have
Cuz to me it means too much

Very touching and breathtaking piece. It shows the love that one has for another. The daunting and intimidating feelings one has just thinking of losing that special person in their life. IT is agonizing to see that person sitting there helpless...not knowing the outcome. Sitll you showed your love by holding hands, hugging, embracing, being there for them. Letting them know that your love is sincere. I was able to vividly see the image you painted and it was tearful. THis was a very bittersweet piece and very well written. Excellent read! I look forward to reading more of your work.

Hello there. I really like this poem. It has a nice pace to it. I also love how it incorporates the title in so many lines like an echo. You have some serious talent. You deserve more appeal 'cause you're pretty good! I look forward to more from you.

I would also like to point out that I love the tone of this piece. Fantastic write!
