can't you see?
your wake
is late

you took your life, away
& the one you call your wife,
does not want to stay

& the baby you call your first
is about to burst

my lungs can't hold on any longer
i've spent too long under water  

& now that you're awake,
you've realized your mistakes

you cannot undo the past
or make up in the eyes of absent

can't you see?
your wake
is late
