2.44 am

by @paul-thomas-galbally

I lie in a half prone position Waiting for the debate to end The start of the road to perdition Earlier I spoke to a friend She told me, she'd like me to see her When she's not feeling so low I don't know the right things to tell her It's cowardly of me, I know I brought her last night to the doctor Waiting an hour or two The nurses were calm and so kindly But I still don't know what I can do I told her be brave and be honest I touched her, the back of her neck She flinched cause she's been violated She whispers, a hushed, slienced wreck Do I help her because that I love her Or is it more selfish than that? Do I help her because I dream of her Alone with me inside my flat? The nighttime is getting much colder Autumn comes early this year Do I help her because that I love her? Or is it I can't stand her tears?
