Mama woke me up
She embraced me sobbing and
stumbled down the stairs
in my arms, and I
stumbled down the stairs
in her arms, to daddy
in the kitchen, arms around each other
we were crying
but I had to go back, see
how I was
breathless on my bed
still warm
as if I was asleep, oh
you are thirteen
don't go, stay
here with me
Paramedics arrived
They put me in a bag
and carried me away
leaving me behind
