Helen…..

Ill-fated
doomed
Regaining consciousness in a room
overwhelmed with
loneliness
fear….
perhaps worse…
indifference.

Decide !
Live or die !
Love or don’t !
Decide !

That decision made,
continue on your
path

Here
in this room
we call life,
our world
there is no going back.
No re-set

In this place
of misery
our part
To add joy and love
Therein lies
perhaps
our hope.

And while you love me
I
have
hope.
