why I watch you

I watch you
because I have to

I am waiting
for a sign

I hope will
never come

I watch you
because one day

You will no longer
be able to do for yourself

You will not be able
to make choices

You have always
made with ease

You will fall
and not get up

I watch you
because

When I could not
get up

When I could not
make choices

When I could not
do for me

you did
