"We knew you'd be back"
White walls whisper
With a cough and a hack
Soothing hands invaded by blisters
"I've been waiting for you"
Winter wind wails
Chilling bones as his words blew
Promising deliverance from all ails
"You mustn't leave"
Blue blankets bawl
Trapping me in their intricate weave
I don't need the outside at all
As the new fade away, old friends return
Teaching lessons I try not to learn
