I had no idea how fragile he was
Until he cried out in the night
“Beth –
where are you?”
And I answered “I am here”
I had no idea how fragile he was
Until what he had to do seized him
And he couldn’t take a step,
Open the door, and talk to the manager
I had no idea how fragile he was
Until I could see he needed morning medication
And two coffees and one hour
To shake the demons from him
I had no idea how fragile he was
Until the cracks in his psyche
Opened wider and swallowed him whole
