Bleary-eyed I sit up
It's hard my head is pounding
I lay back down
My alarm goes off
School then work
I try to breathe through my nose
It's congested
I groan
I have to go to school
I send an e-mail to my co-workers
It's a question
Can you cover for me?
Simple but no one responds
Guess I'll take a hit for it
I cough
My chest rattles and burns
I sit up again
My heads whirls
No more
It hurts

Eyes glance back and forth
They wore identical masks
Chained together in silver
The moving of a car over potholes
When they were caught
Their masks were removed
A girl and a boy
Held together by nothing more
Then a rosary with Dismas
It is held in their hands
Clasped together in the back
Bars divide them and their captors
The boy is whispering
The girl recites with him
The man in the front yells
The car crashes into another
Shielding her he takes the blunt of it
Glass flies and a bar breaks
"Let's go"
His words loud in the silence
The two climb out
Immediately surrounded by 'family'
The ones that saved them
Today they are seperated by cities and bars
By people who don't want them together
By oceans and lakes
But they each hold a piece
Of the same rosary from all those years ago.

POUND, POUND, POUND
my head is killing me
looking at anything hurts
it's like if someone took a knife and
STAB, STAB, STAB
I don't know why it hurts so bad
my eyes overflow with tears
it's a migraine
THUMP, THUMP, THUMP
there's my heartbeat
it makes my head hurt worse
please stop
THRUM, THRUM, THRUM
I just want to sleep but I can't
medicine not helping
what am I supposed to do?
POUND, POUND, POUND

The flowers bloom
The breeze flows past
Trees reach to the sky
The sun shines bright
The clear blue
This is the spring
This is the beauty
The beauty of the world
The birds sing
The butterflies flutter
The bees grasp the pollen
This is the spring
The children play
The grills fire up
There is fresh cut grass
The music plays loud
There are smiles all around
This is the spring
