Fourteen Days Of Misery. Poem by RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL

She fell on the sofa,
Not able to speak,
Almost still,
She was taken to emergency,
Of the hospital
At night so still,
Put on ventilator,
Other support systems,
Her husband waiting
Day and night
In the chair given,
Till she progessed
After eleven days,
with tubes and constant
Dialysis, it was he who sufferd
The most, the tension, pains
Of endless waiting
Extending the lfe
To fourteen days of utmost misery.
