Hospitalized
by
VJ Maddox
Tubes are coming out my arms,
There's oxygen in my nose....
No one understands my pain,
I think that's why it grows.
The pain killers aren't working...
My broken heart, they cannot heal.
Because no matter what I say to you,
You ignore everything I feel.
I've begged you to come see me -
But it's too much for you to do.
Only dying flowers at my lonely bedside,
And yet, none are from you.
I know i'll get better with you here,
Just one touch - a kiss on my cheek...
Please just treat me like you used to -
And not like some poor sick freak.
I know you said you're coming here -
I hope it's not another promise you won't keep.
The nurse gives me a worried look...
She calmly suggests I get some sleep.
But I refuse to shut my eyes -
Not until I've seen your face.
And I hear you tell me,
You'll rescue me from this place.
I can't take much more of this -
The pain, damn beeping of machines,
My head is pounding constantly,
And no one else hears the screams...
I know I'm not crazy...
I don't care what I hear them say.
They're wrong, They lie - you'll show them...
I know you'll come get me today...
And suddenly, it hits me.
The new drugs break through the haze.
And all those lost memories... restored.
Six days ago, my love - I killed you...
I'm strapped down... padded walls...
I'm in the Psychiatric Ward.
