What did They inject me with? Hello? My eyes adrift "The ocean, sweetheart" That small voice unfolded in my head I still couldn’t see "*The sky observed from below Through the reflection of the sea Its atmosphere was dark A storm arrived*" Her voice was muffled, like my ears were stuffed with cotton They could be All I could focus on was the sound of my own voice Speaking like I could actually swallow “*Lightning ripped across your temples And tore you away from me Electrocuted your pain*” I could feel her shoulders tense How long had I been out? She spoke her words through shuddering window panes Like her soul was weeping “*It released my tension in your filling You didn’t see it coming You couldn’t even feel it*” Oh My senses awakened without me I noticed the familiar fabric of the fallen beneath My vacant body The scent of bleach and sound of shuffling feet reminded me That I was on my ward You’re going to be here a while, aren’t you It wasn’t exactly a question, but a concern I hope not “Oh good, you’re awake” The nurse came in without so much as a knock Are you sure? Good is a relative term. I kept my eyes floating on that vast ocean The void of infinite awakenings is exhausting And yet I feel better For now
