GRIEF Poem: “Life Support” by Gianna Bournazos

It was a quick connection, a glorious fire
and it burned out slowly but completely
Sick without a cure, the embers lost their spark
Hooked up to the life support machine
Barely with the ability to gasp for air
and begging for somebody to pull the plug
Yet we’re both still clinging onto it
and hoping it’ll be awakened and rekindled
Because it’s all we’ve known for forever now
