Gorgeous Nightmare

J E S S E

She won't talk.

Mom has tried,

Bill has tried,

the doctors have tried,

even I tried.

Yet the most she does

is blink

and shake

her brunette head.

She is on suicide watch,

duh.

Her visiting hours

have been

extended,

in hopes that someone

can get her

to utter

even a word.

I am scared.

I

am

scared

for Brogan,

for Mom and Bill,

for Noah - wherever he may be...

Ultimately,

I

am

scared

for

myself.
