Auntie


I am hurt Auntie,

Can you heal me?

I miss you Auntie,

Can you hug me?

Im calling for you Auntie,

Will you answer me?

I need your guidance Auntie,

Will you give it to me?

I'm not okay Auntie,

Where are you?

I’ve been screaming your name Auntie,

I haven’t heard from you,

I’m worried Auntie 

Will you call me?

You’re in the hospital Auntie,

Why didn’t you tell me?

You have liver failure Auntie,

Can I fix you?

You’re scared Auntie,

I will take care of you,

You’re in palliative care Auntie,

Are you gonna be okay?

You say you’ll be here forever Auntie,

Do you promise? 

You passed away that night Auntie,

Why did you lie?

I wasn’t there Auntie,

Do you forgive me?
I didn’t notice how sick you were Auntie,

I’m sorry.

It’s been 8 months Auntie,

I miss you
