Scars
A Hand To Hold
Transfusion
Confusion
Rolling to surgery
Scarier than burglary
Alone
A tear
Fear
Could death be near
No familiar face
To slow my heart's pace
Doctors and nurses are in place
Looking into my face
Breathing through a mask
That's my task
Deep breath
In
Out
Eyes wide open
Scared of closing
Forever closing
Never again seeing
My favorite human beeings
Surgical light
Shining bright
Doctors and nurses are in place
Staring at my face
In
Out
I have to let go
Trust in the flow
Transfusion, confusion, perfusion
Asking for a hand
To hold
It's cold
Will I ever grow old
A hand to hold
Holding
Eyes closing
