Dear Esther,

I woke up in the hospital.

My surroundings had turned completely white,
And my room was out of sight,
While I was showered with the flickers of pale light,
As if darkness had been killed,
In a single night

For a moment,
I though I was in heaven...
But I saw my familiar scars,
Along with bandages,
Strangling my damaged arms

My head in a whirl;
Throbbing and churning

You weren't there...

They told me that I had lost too much blood,
And was whisked to the chamber,
In a hectic rush

I don't understand...
Why must I survive?

I want to be with you,
g o n e and d e a d,
Away from this cruel world...
