The face i'll never forget

Arriving at the hospital
thinking this accident
was like all the others
and that when i got to see him
he'd be there waiting to give me a hug

only this time the doctors asked for only the grown ups
leaving me standing outside the door
i couldn't hear anything not a word
i could only see the face of my cousin
it was a face of sudden out pour of emotion filled with sadness

that face will forever be ingrained
within my mind,
it was the face of reality
of what was really happening
and what kind of hell was about to happen
