Still

How can things keep going
when it seems my world has stood still
while I wait, hopeful but scared

I try to work, try to clear my head
only to feel cloudy and unsure
of what to do next, how to keep going

Does she know what's happening to her
is she waiting for answers like we are
desperate to know if she will recover

She lays restfully, medicated and mellow
for her day's activities haven't changed
like mine have, trudging through the mud of fear

Today, another test to get some answers
about whether her body can fight
whether the doctor can work magic

And we keep working, 
and the world keeps turning for everyone else
as mine just stands still.
