I watch on the monitor as your heart stops beating
I watch as you walk down the hallway, knowing that you have ALS before you do
I watch as the chest x-ray shows your cancer has spread
It seems so unfair that I know these things before you do
To me you are an “interesting case” to talk about over lunch, but to you this is everything
What gives me this right to know how your life will turn out?
I feel like I can't even help you, not yet.
