Seven days ago you started acting odd,
replying to my questions with only a small nod.
You looked oh so pale,
and so very frail.
Was this really just seven days ago?
Six days ago you started ignoring me,
I am right here, can you not see?
You walked away,
with nothing to say.
Was this really just six days ago?
Five days ago you refused to even eat,
no vegetables and even no meat.
Are you okay?
Please look this way.
Was this really just five days ago?
Four days ago you never went outside,
you whispered you were okay but I knew you lied.
Let's go out in the sun,
we can have so much fun.
Was this really just four days ago?
Three days ago you looked so weak,
All skinny and bony, it has almost been a week.
Let me help you,
at least give me a clue.
Was this really just three days ago?
Two days ago you never left your room,
The aura around here is all just gloom.
Please let me in,
together we can win.
Was this really just two days ago?
...One day ago, I knocked on your door...
...My heart sank when I saw you on the floor...
...Mom can you hear me..?
...I see you are now free...
...Why did you have to go...?
...You should have told me...
...Seven days ago...
