A Hole in the World

She is dying.
He knows it.
She knows it.
Would he have loved her?
She wants to know.
He's loved her since he's known her.
Maybe even before.

She is sorry.
No,
no,
no.
He will not hear it.

She needs him to talk to her parents.
They have to know
she wasn't scared
it was quick.
She wasn't scared.
Oh, God.

He tells her to fight.
Just fight.
Just hold on.
She's not scared.
She's not scared.
She's not scared.
Please.
Why can't she stay?
