50-50 chance
the doctor said
in the cardiac room
as she's lying in bed
there's a pan on the floor
filled with something black
i need to know
i'm afraid to ask
i hug you
i hum to you
i've come to you
i touch you
i tell you
i love you
i sing to you
bring to you
anything
her little heart
it beats so fast
her body trembles
with the effort to last
i hug you
i hum to you
i've come to you
i touch you
i tell you
i love you
i sing to you
bring to you
anything
she's going home
tomorrow at ten
the question is
will she try it again?
