What Happened?
You stare at him in disbelief, although you are not surprised
Because your father has had countless health problems before
Such as asthma attacks, shattered toes, and an exploding temper
That lashed out at you to the point of where
You decided to move away from the man four years earlier,-
Which all recollects in a depressed man lying in a hospital bed
On the third floor in room 300-
The most important man in your life is staring at you
With haunted eyes and everything you loved about him growing up is all gone
And it all happened so fast that you shoved it all aside
It baffles you that seeing his body strapped by tubes and an oxygen mask is what puts tears in your eyes
and disorganized your thoughts
All you can really ask about the situation was
"What happened?"
