Come

Surrounded by 
a sea of solitude,
calls from an eternal friend,
the walls of my forever children,
hemming me in.
The path has lost me,
there is no going back.
Take my hand today,
let us take back time.

At the clinic
It is cold,
Too cold for her.

There is no whimper,
No life left to complain.

I check -- she is still breathing.

That is enough for now.
