Bittersweet tears run down her cheeks
She’s been stuck in this place too long
She can’t tell days from weeks
Everything here is wrong
Bloody lines cross her flesh
She’s been cut so deep
Her thoughts all blur and mesh
And she can’t sleep
Angry words pass through her lips
Her heart beats faster and faster
And the monitor blips
But the people walk past her
Shallows breaths are formed deep inside
Gasping and choking
With nowhere to hide
Her heart is soaking
Blood, sweat and tears
So shallow yet so deeply
Ingrained are her fears
She whispers meekly
The final moments come rushing forward
Her body bent and torn
Her mind races backward
And she wonders if they will mourn
