It's Not Like I Planned It This Way (Watty Awards 2013)

scrubs

i woke up in a small room

with tubes controlling my body

and a craving for peanut butter

my mother was in the chair across from me

her face looked ancient and her feet were bare

she was sleeping

i wondered if she had been here the whole time

i didnt know what time or day it was

or what had even happened to me

i didnt even care

i just really wanted peanut butter

a man came in

boy, was he a looker

he said his name was doctor john

and that I had gotten hit by a car

doctor john said

that my skull was bruised

my ankle was broken

and i had lost half of my blood

i should've been worried

but i was too busy

focusing on his abs poking out his scrubs

doctor john said 

that there was someone here to visit me

and that they had been waiting 

for six hours

and when i saw you peek your head in

with your ocean eyes

that looked sadder than ever

my heart melted

exploded

and dissolved into air

i said hi

and you said hi

and

some how

we started making out

and i was completely okay with that

my mother, however, was not.
