I received the worst news today
I felt my life start to fade away.
I rushed in an instant over there
Breaking multiple laws without a care.
I saw the nurses
The confusion on their face
As a crazed man ran through their door
Everything in him beginning to race
"Where's my wife"
I asked in fear
Scared for my life
Of the news I'm about to hear.
They took too long
I saw her in her bed
I sprinted over to her
Thinking the worst in my head
She saw me
With a worried look in her eye
I held her in my arms
And began to uncontrollably cry.
So much has happened
The past few hours of my life
But it feels like forever
Since I last held my wife
And here I sit
Next to her bed
Holding her hand.
And kissing her head.
I'll sit here forever
If need be
Next to my wife
Till they let her free.
Until then
I'll let life unfold
And I shall sit right here
Putting my life
On hold.

I hate hospitals. I've been around them too much in my life
