Poetry

hospital ward

I wake up in an empty room

A hospital ward, I assume.

I don't understand

Why I'm here

It feels like,

I've slept for a year...

No memories, no feelings of home.

Somehow... I feel so alone.

Faint voices audible

Behind the door.

Then you burst in,

Startling me more.

Distress written on your face,

You bring me into an embrace.

Tearing up, but smiling too...

"What? I don't even know you".
