I almost died alone
We were in the midst of a pandemic
So died should scare me the most
But it was alone
It is alone
Alone is supposed to keep you safe
But alone is what almost killed me
They say to choose between
6 ft apart or 6 ft under
But what if one just leads to the other
Reaching out to people
Who’ve been told to keep a distance?
It sounds like a set up to me
So while everyone is watching the virus
Society tries to pick off those of us
Unfit for isolation
Those deemed unworthy of love
“Unessential” is what I hear
they’re calling us these days
So when I needed a hug
and could find none
I considered a kiss
One from death
