Bed

I lay in my semi-permanent bed, disconnected from the world

A bandage was wrapped around my arm

I was cradling my arm, holding my wrist

Tears were streaming down my face

my legs were pulled close to my chest

The lights were off 

I'm afraid of the dark now

Too much bad stuff has happened while I'm in the dark

I'm too weak

I'm too afraid

My fear is taking over

The pain isn't helping a single bit

I accidentally knee my arm

"Fffuuuu.."

I trail off, the tears coming faster and in a greater amount

My throat hitches

My bed is no longer safe
