You’ve Killed Me
Janet Kuypers
(10/25/11)
you’ve killed me, you know
and I can no longer respond
come to me
I dare you
open my eyelid
shine a light on my face
put that flashlight
right up to my eye
see if I respond
you’ve killed me, you know
they’ve placed me
in a hospital bed
everyone’s crossing
their fingers
this is what it all boils down to
this is what it all becomes
you know you’ve killed me
but still
you still
are
waiting for me to respond
