Coma

Terrified to open my eyes
How is it I still own my life
Screams still echo in my mind
Wonder if he’s still alive

I have grown completely numb
Why do all the people mourn
Is it true that you are gone
Why won’t someone let me know

Rhythmic beats and shallow breaths
Who is in the other bed
Another soul broke their head
Through my own ignorance

I see the shadow of a man
Holding the victims lifeless hand
He pleads with her to understand
He needs her now to comprehend

‘My love, please come back to me’
His whisper haunts the infirmary
The midnight bell finally rings
The EKG says I’m deceased
