There’s an empty space
Where you left
But the doctors
Ripped out the alarm
In my chest
All I can do
Is stumble around
And speculate.

Does the red wire
Connect to the blue one?
Or will
Electric shock
Revive
The memories
That the medicine
Erased
From my brain

I wonder
If you see me
In all of the twinkly lights  
Or
If you try to
Restart your heart
By connecting
The green wire
To the yellow wire
Or maybe it’s the red one
I’m never sure

Because I didn’t stick around
Long enough
To ask
