[bodytext] => I tried to smile that day the day that finally arrived I'd been avoiding you my fear of death. To myself, I lied the nurse said something kind a warning shot, a weight I never bore before I came in, I barely listened I hesitated as she walked me to your door I walked through, desperately painted on smile doorknob in hand, fearfully facing forward and then I turned my head, slowly, knowing and there you were, what was left of you, awkward a grotesque insult to the human form that decimated creature was all your desperation left you lived as long as the human form would let you your children mattered most. lost, numb, bereft I could see through your skin, features drawn to breaking point I felt sick. Embarrassed, incapable and wrong what could I do? Fear of a different you you scared me beyond fear, though you were strong I tried to crack a joke, but you were delirious I was thankful for that as I saw my own weakness and fear I finally learned what a coward I am. For the moments that followed, I dreaded time. Nothing was clear.
