You're awake,
but no one has told you.
I hope they got it all you say.
We're waiting for the doctor.
I come to visit,
but I can't stand to stay.
Your hope shatters my heart,
in light of what I know.
I can't bare to lie to you.
Please, go to sleep,
just for a little while.
At least until the doctor comes,
then we can talk.
You smile at me and hold my hand.
Only I know that I have you,
just for a little while.

the flow in this is a stumble, the words sort of tumble and tilt and get in each other's way. Instead of this, try an image that says the same thing.
