Cough for her.
Robotic her lungs, don't let her die.
Comfort her, story for her, hold and let her cry.
Terminal her label,
and privatize her view.
Unplug the machine because that's what she asked you to do.

This poem carries for me a picture of someone on a machine to sustain life. It is sad and presents the picture of someone that does not want to be carried by machinery but let life take its course. Well done
A very sad poem. Your poem explores themes of mortality, the human experience of illness, and the ethical dilemmas surrounding end-of-life decisions.
