Obligation

I’ve never been dying

But I see what takes place

Family and friends come for

One more look at the face

If I were dying

I’m not exactly sure

I’d want all my loved ones

Waiting for my death to occur

Aside from these feelings

Sounds I don’t want to hear

Are muffled voices, quiet crying

Of those I hold dear

I have strong thoughts of

Sights I don’t want to see
