i wish that i had known in that first minute we met the unpayable debt that i owed you

"when i was checking vitals i suggested a smile
you didn't talk for awhile you were freezing.

you said you hated my tone
it made you feel so alone

so you told me i ought to be leaving.

but something kept me standing by that hospital bed
i should have quit but instead i took care of you

they made me sleep and uneven
and i didn't believe them

when they told me that there was no saving you"
