A small buzz or conversation

You feel left in the dark

It feels like time is frozen

The waiting is the worst part

You hear name after name

Listening for one that you that you know

You watch faces in hospital beds

Looking for a familiar one

New person walks in and

Old person walks out

It seems so systematic

Why are we left out

A small buzz of conversation

You feel left in the dark

It feels like time is frozen

The waiting is the worst part
