every time i step foot inside a hospital

all i can hear is cries of pain, suffering.

even if theres no one around, and its

empty, cold and lifeless.

i still hear it. i still hear the sounds, like

its coming from all the ghosts who died

here.

i hate coming to hospitals. i always think

of you and the day you were brought here.

i already knew you were dead, but they

had to take you away; i cant remember

where. and then i had to wait in those

cold hard chairs, my head in my hands,

waiting for your parents.

now every time i pass by people sitting

in those chairs, out in the halls, i notice

their tear stained cheeks, and the pain

in their eyes. i feel to just reach out to them,

tell them it'll be alright.

but i wouldnt want to get their hopes up.

because thats the very worst thing to be

told when you already know the outcome.

every time i walk along the corridors,

i hear your beating heart, your smile enters

my head and all i feel to do is break down

and cry. i still cant believe you had to leave;

you were everything to me. but now you're an

angel in the night sky, watching over me and

that guy, you know the one who waited for you,

for all that time, when you could of easily died.

and i know he cheated on you, but really, really

he just loved you.

and now you're gone and i bet he too, is feeling

alone.

every time i enter a hospital room, i feel his arms

wrapping around me, telling me "im so sorry, son"

and then i feel my mums breath on my neck and

her bony arms wrap around my torso.

she says "its good to see my little boy again"

and i'll sit on the chair opposite his bed,

and see him sleeping there. my life saviour,

my best friend, with the comfort of my parents

beside me, hovering in the air, not really there.

ember and v, and all the other lonely souls

telling me it'll be okay.

but all i wanna know is whether or not

my best friend, damien is going to live,

or die.
