Fragile

You're so fragile, delicate
Physically and emotionally
Like a glass prone to breaking
An abrupt change has happened
Since your hospitalization

You used to be strong and agile
But that physical strength is gone
Your legs that can walk for kilometers before
Can barely support you for hours on your feet now
It's sad to see you this way
Totally different from what you used to be

I have to handle you with care
No more massages and tight hugs from me
Your skin cannot endure pressure
It would cause you hematoma
Because of your proneness to bleeding

Blame it on warfarin for this vulnerability
But we cannot do anything to change it
We have to live with these changes in you
I can only assure you of my constant support and understanding
And one thing is for sure
My love will never change
