Eyes open,
Watching,
Unable to help,
A life disintegrating.

Family all around,
Praying for the best.
Tears like a river,
Flowing all around.

Grandmother,
Lying on
The cold,
White,
Hospital bed.

Alone within
Hoping to
Make it
Through.

Life,
Slipping away,
Consumed,
In sadness.

Life lost,
Lived by
Memories
Forever.
