Waiting Room

Waiting Room


Sitting, waiting

All dressed in hospital wear

Head cover and feet in socks

Blue headpiece, blue socks


We looked on as they

Wheeled you into the room

Doors tightly closed

No sound in my silence


Everything stood still.

After a long time

The doors opened wide

They wheeled you back into the patient’s room


The doctor walked over to update us

Our faces ran cold

Everything stood still

What news could it be?


The moment we dread most

Was here now

Right before our faces

With anticipation, we waited
