Flowers in My Lungs

I cough
And wheeze
And shake
And dread this curse

I wait
Alone on my hospital bed
Waiting for a cure
Waiting for someone
Waiting for a miracle

I lie awake
on my death bed
Waiting
waiting
waiting

Suddenly, I see your eyes
Then your face
Then your arms,
wrapped around me

Telling me
"You breathe in plain air
And your lungs turn them into beautiful flowers
You let out beauty.
You'll make it out."
