21: When I Almost Died

When I almost died
You sat by me
You held my hand
You didn't ring for the nurse
You ran down the hall
High heels clicking against the cold stone floor
And brought her back
She needs pain medication
You said
It was the first time
It was the last time
I ever heard you
Raise your voice.
