Deathbed

Too late

The light left

Your hand twitched

Warm still

I cried your name

Forgive me

For not being there

Too late

I hate that you went

Without me

Unaware

I cried your name

Forgive me

For not being there

Too late

Blush left

A yellow hue

A frame so thin

I cried your name

A cold room

The TV buzz

A nurse who barely knew

You name

Your living face

Forgive me

For being too late
