I wake up with a blur of hues
Orange brown grey and blues
There are silhouettes and shadows
Loud voices and noises and distant echoes
I close my eyes and sleep again
I’m partially numb without much pain
‘Four days you’ve been down’
They tell me next
‘We thought you were gone’
Finally put to rest
I notice the scar on my chest
Wire, gauze and bloody mess
‘It’s going to stay but it won’t hurt’
The wound will heal but the mark won’t go
It’s ten days now, I breathe just fine
This heart is new but you won’t go
And you won’t come and help me heal
I’m stuck in rewind on the winter’s reel
Why treat me like shit and cheat on me
And break my heart into smithereens?
Why lie to me and pretend that you care
When all this time you were never here.
