Sirens wailing a heart is failing a hand is hailing now taxi is tailing
Automatic doors and whitewashed walls embrace a stretcher, screws loose on the wheels squeal while two scrubs lecture
Hectic asking for a ward name or floor anything to stop being locked behind another door
Sprinting up the stairs three at a time only half the blood on my hands are mine
Red rails remind me of that red hell at the bottom of the stairwell where you fell and I lost my voice trying to yell
Eventually the green and lime bell'd to check your pulse as your brain swelled
The tears streaming down my face wash my brain, letting my emotions rein again but all my motions were in vain to save
You lie in your cot veins full of blood clots (unconscious) a cannula into your nose, so you can't hear how this apology goes
I'm sorry for the lies I told you, the dreams I sold too I didn't mean to hurt you I just didn't want you to have to see a nurse too I was a fool
Thinking that you wouldn't see the real me I can act but my costumes will always have my heart stitched on the sleeve
Maybe that's why I was lonely because I built my walls so quickly but when you were with me I let my guard down let it fall to the ground so when our skin touched it always felt like you hit me I wish these
Tentacle wires were invisible so I could see the owner of those eyes again surely a good omen used to sketch them with an empty pen on the back of your hand at five to ten
I take your hand in mine your body's here but your mind's left it behind too
I can't tell you how much I miss you, just please try to come back to me soon without you I feel so alone, it's been three months now almost June
Maybe I'll come visit you seeing as our embrace is overdue I've taken this picture I think it's my cue this is my last letter to you see you on the moon x
