Coma

Coma

The trauma of seeing you lying there

Causes overwhelming sadness and despair

Not being able to help you in any way

Fills this stricken heart with utter dismay.

.......................................................

All I can do is sit here every day and pray

That this will be the desperately awaited day

When you awake to those in vigil at your bed

Please. please acknowledge what is said.

.........................................................

Come back to those who need you in their lives

Can you hear this world-weary soul who cries ?

Can you remember all we have been through ?

If you return will everything be as we knew ?

...........................................................

So many times I have asked as to why

You should be in this place and didn't die 

Perhaps it will be soon that all will be made clear

Perhaps soon your recovery will banish all fear.

...........................................................

I wish it had happened to me instead of you  

I wish all my dreams would come true

I wish you would grip my hand once more

I wish I could see your smile, which I forever adore.

If there is one horror greater than losing someone dear because of death, it is to see a loved one dead in life without the possibility of recovery, in that trance we have just join hands and still not being believers to pray that recovers or so definitely death take him.

When a person is in a coma for a long time it causes great suffering and grief is eternal. A greeting, a very sad poem, but sadly very real.

Personally faced this type of situation, I think the best thing to do is to legislate the right to die with a euthanasia law, free-form people could decide through a living will.
