And I cried
October 10, 2010
Have you ever lost someone you love?
Someone who loves you?
Someone who was too young?
In the hospital
I didn’t recognize him.
Scared.
Sad.
Bald.
I was too little-
I didn’t understand-
But my mom,
She explained
What was happening
Cancer.
I heard that word too often.
One night-Late night
We got a phone call.
From the hospital.
And I cried.
He was lost.
