Lying on the bed she looked around,
At times Smiling at the visitors,
Other times shutting her eyes in an attempt to hide her agony.
Well wishers waiting outside her room,
Hoping for their turn to come soon,
Biting their nails in genuine apprehension,
For a loved one whose health is causing them tension.
Looking at the doctor entering,
The well wishers started pondering,
He gave them reassurance with a slight smile,
Then telling them it’s just a jaundice why don’t you all relax for some time.
Inside the room though on a high dosage,
She tried to keep her eyes open in an attempt not to offend,
Innately wishing for them to leave,
She showed her distress through her nonverbal plea.
But alas they wouldn’t budge,
Leaving her with “another” whom they do no trust,
For “another” they do not know,
As they are just here for the one who is laid without a glow.
Ultimately she uttered a few words in pain,
Asking her loved ones to leave in vain,
Understanding her trepidation with pure intension,
They left her without any hesitation.
