Life Poems

Thank You

in the corridor outside the still hospital room pacing up and down a thousand times the mind thinks of a billion and one things sane and insane
it was a normal day just like any other day coming home from a routine work i find you sitting all alone in the footsteps
in between tears you say you had enough you say you want out you want to go away
a normal day just shattered in one moment shocked and speechless i walk past you into the flat
gathering myself i walk into the kitchen gulp down a bottle of water slowly walk out towards you
I stand there for a minute staring straight at you the kitchen knife in one hand the other hand firmly holding you i stand there staring at the ground
In one single moment our whole life can turn around
now standing outside in the hospital corridor i snap back to reality the sound of a baby wailing brings me back from the distant dream that once plagued me
with tears in my eyes i slowly turn around walk away as fast as i can away from the hospital away from you away you the kid away from your new found life
the memory of us now reside in the hands of your husband a simple handwritten note hastily scribbled "thank you for the best day of my life"
