In One Night
I was in a room
Where I wasn’t supposed to be
I looked at her, eyes closed
Not looking back at me
I began to cry
So I went back to the waiting room,
But I couldn’t walk in.
I saw these people that I once knew
Supposed to be my family
But haven’t seen in years.
So I sat on the floor outside instead
Where I couldn’t stop crying
But I knew that the ones who cared
Would come out to comfort me.
The night was long
I thought it would never end.
I worried so much,
That it began to hurt.
I couldn’t sleep, I could barely eat.
I went back to that room
Where I wasn’t supposed to be
I looked at her, eyes closed
Not looking back at me.
But this time I didn’t cry
I held my head up high
Believing in things would be okay
I kissed her good-bye,
I knew these would be my final words
To someone I loved dear.
She was my whole world,
And decades later it still brings me to tears.
