Die twice
It never gets better
watching someone "die twice"
Is harder than ever
All shut down
The skin loses pigment
And turns a gray/brown
A pulse becomes silent
The last breath exhaled
For some or for many
It feels they have failed
That this person was more
Than a lifeless corpse
Behind closed doors
Screams, cries, begs
Hits the floor
And you realize this person
Had more to live for
Had a whole other life
They had dreams, love, ambitions
No matter the strife
It just hits a lot harder when you
Watch someone die twice.
