Long Term Care
You still look like you, minus the fire
With your non-skid socks
Arms attached to barb wires
A robe drenched in dead skin
Eyes sunkin in
Slept for a year, but still tired
When you speak, it's eratic
Others hear it as static
I always know what you mean
You long to go home
Where you weren't so alone
But it's disappeared it would seem
For now, they still visit
But they'll drift and won't miss it
As it's all too depressing to see
You will disappear
No one gets better here
The next stop is eternity
