fragile

mortal life is so fragile.
so fragile...

u looked so frail,
i almost couldn't recognize.
u drifted in and out of consciousness,
breathed so hard through your mouth,
fighting for every single breath the rest of us takes for granted.

u teared...
i don't know why,
i don't know what they meant,
and u couldn't explain to me.

as i held ur hand,
u didn't clutch back.
i tried to smile at u,
hoping to bring comfort,
but i don't know if it helps.

mortal life is fragile,
but there is hope.

hang in there.
