Under the Knife
the tubes attached, the fluid dripping
the beeps repeating and coinciding with my heart
the pain subsiding
the dreams occurring
medicine injected
calms my nerves and soothes the pain
in a freezing room
with everything metallic
the mask comes down
my eyes close
I open up and get rearranged
awakening to the dizziness
dry mouth and a cloudy head
returning from the dead
it seems
the pain comes back
and stabs at me
but one day I will walk normal
and be like I was before everything broke
before you left
before I cared
everything will be perfect
but not today, I need months of rehab
however that's nothing compared to the recovery from you
my insides ache
and I cant concentrate
the medicine keeps my mind from attaching to anything
and stops the pain from occurring
my eyes close
I am under the knife
