sitting in that room
laying in the bed
finding it hard to breathe
I was terrified
Covid-19
what was it doing
to my lungs
and why does it
feel like a boulder
sitting on my chest
that's when I thought
about those who've
passed away
loved ones
not just from Covid
my last memories of them
words unspoken
promises unkept
feelings hurt
but what are hurt feelings
to a broken heart
so all I can do is
look to the sky
speak those words
and hope they hear me
until we meet again
I can still breathe
so I must be better
even if there's a chance
things get worse
and since I don't know
how much damage
Covid has done
every breath counts
more than ever before
