Hope and Loss
I sat next you, trembling with fear,
 
 Hoping that the end of you wasn't near.
 
 Your soft face was as pale as snow,
 
 will you survive or not, I wanted to know.
 
 You tried to comfort me, your voice cold and sharp
 
 But I could hear nothing but the beat of my heart. 
 
 The doctor came in, quiet and cross,
  
 I just hoped he wouldn't say, you'll have a loss.
 
 He looked at his clipboard, expressionless face,
 
 and I could just tell your heart began to race. 
 
 As he said those words, I held my breath,
 
 I'm sorry, but she's almost near death.
