On the fourth floor of the brick wall barricade, We stood at the window watching the rain, I felt calm watching water drop suicide; I thought how it'd be nice to die by your side. My mind breached every professional boundary, but my mouth remained closed, looking back it was obvious-- they should've let me go. I stayed with you on the worst days, when you couldn't pick your head up from the bed. Instead of encouraging movement and intervention, I just sat there, right or wrong, and tried to follow what you said.

A Eulogy-- Before You Go (Part II)
On the fourth floor of the brick wall barricade, We stood at the window watching the rain, I felt calm watching water drop suicide; I thought how it'd be nice to die by your side. My mind breached every professional boundary, but my mouth remained closed, looking back it was obvious-- they should've let me go. I stayed with you on the worst days, when you couldn't pick your head up from the bed. Instead of encouraging movement and intervention, I just sat there, right or wrong, and tried to follow what you said.
