I lay in the hospital bed
IV’s in my body that kept me living
And the doctor told me how lucky I was
My heart had stopped
And I fell
I guess I haven’t been myself for a while
No one had given up though
Keeping me alive
Not wanting me to die
I was brought back
No
You're wrong
I lay in bed
Alone and cold
Memories of us in my head
And the last memory came into view
Your back turned towards me as you slowly walk away
I remember all of the promises we made to each other
You were the first to break one
Your silent words burn a hole into my chest
And my heart stops
I fell
All the air coming out as I choke for another breath
I cry
I don’t understand what I did
But I guess I deserved it
Only I’ll never come back
You wanted me to stay away anyway
You’ve killed me with your silent words
So now I lay in bed
Cold and alone
Slowly recovering
