The phone line dripped apologies
While I sat silently
All 3,000 miles north of me
Isolation froze solid on this moment
He had a heart attack they tell me
The room gift wrapped around me
Ripped open
Exposing a flaky rib cage
My arms wanted to stretch back home
Grab his heart
And palpitate his benevolence
Rewinding muscle memory
I have been told too many lies in hospitals
Watched a plethora of lives fall victim
Heard too many **** machines scream
Longing for the lost all too often
So I reprogrammed a code
For my Heart to beat overtime
To satiate the hearts
That no longer exist
