You were lying on your bed

with your arms at your side.

Did I mention you were dead?

Did I mention that I tried?

We dropped you to the floor

and the man pumped your chest.

I ran to the ambulence

I swear I did my best. 

Please wake up.

Please don't let go.

These moments still haunt me

more than you'll ever know.

I waited in my room,

for some sort of good word.

But the time of death 

was all that I heard.
