I'm a teaching assistant
It's a new job and I'm nervous
Trying my best not to
Lose face in front of the kids
A close friend visits me in class
She's terminally ill
And pregnant
She knows her baby won't make it either
All because of one night of
Weakness
When she let her years long
Guard down
I was sleeping next to her then
Doesn't look like herself anymore
Sickly yellowed and clammy
Weak
But still quipping in that usual way
This time I can actually feel the tears
Pouring down my face
