i walk in
your breath is paper thin
your scars are all showing
and the heat in the room is ridiculous
i push your hair back,
wipe the sweat off your forehead,
though unintentionally
i remember when you were just a young man
more like a young boy
and we were just a joke
just playing around
you would say,
"frank, we could last forever"
and in your arms it felt real
and you were so big
and so much better than me
you were my guidance
my light in the dark
and now as you lay there, barely any light
in this overheated hospital room
i wonder how it happened
how my man
my boy
my gerard
my knight in shining armor
fell apart so quickly
sickened, undone at the seams
by some sort of disease
some sort of accident
death like this is never on purpose
and dying is never pretty
but as i look down at you
with that weak smile
and those heavy eyes,
barely open
and as you whisper, soft
your voice hoarse and not like you at all
your breath fading
your grip on my hand softening
your eyes finally closing
i wonder how you can make it look so pretty
your breath is paper thin
your scars are all showing
and the heat in the room is ridiculous
i push your hair back,
wipe the sweat off your forehead,
though unintentionally
i remember when you were just a young man
more like a young boy
and we were just a joke
just playing around
you would say,
"frank, we could last forever"
and in your arms it felt real
and you were so big
and so much better than me
you were my guidance
my light in the dark
and now as you lay there, barely any light
in this overheated hospital room
i wonder how it happened
how my man
my boy
my gerard
my knight in shining armor
fell apart so quickly
sickened, undone at the seams
