We got it in your mouth but it was hell

I was in a dark and evil place
Having seen the blackness of your face
You had no trousers on your thin old legs
Sitting in a chair beside your bed

I sat down, you collapsed onto my breast
Your  blood was out of oxygen at last
The nurse came running with some sugar gel
We got it in your mouth but it was hell

I had to help him lift you  to the bed
You never spoke, I wondered were you dead
He said that you must eat which was bizarre
You were semi conscious as you glared.

A doctor came from calling 111
He said you got pneumonia,by gum!
He rang  999 and then he left
The paramedics ran in, I  dismissed

I waited in a  little room with chairs
An hour passed by,I pulled out my own hair
Then at last they pulled the curtain back
You were on a  trolley like a sack

Your voice was stronger and  right then you said
Oh, darling, I’ll soon  see my mum and dad
