In the hush of the hospital's embrace,
A doctor found love in a fragile place
Her smile, a light in the shadows deep,
But illness stole her, he could not keep
Days blurred by in a whirl of care,
Their bond blossomed, fragile as air
Yet despite his efforts, her life slipped away,
Leaving his heart heavy, in disarray
In the quiet aftermath of her final breath,
He wept for a love lost to life and death
Her absence lingered, haunting the air,
A doctor's grief, too heavy to bear
