in and out
deep and filled with doubt.
breathing steadily,
my pulse was quickening readily.
entering your room,
for me would mean certain death.
but there is no way I can stand by
and let him take your last breath.
What if i cannot save you?
What if I cannot stop him?
There is no "at least i tried,"
because this time, that would mean you died.
