lyrics

She woke up to heart monitor sound
Echoing through room
Her head was aching as she looked around
Sensing cheap perfume

There was someone sitting in the corner
She heard the weight of breath
“He didn’t make it” - the stranger said
“He was put to death”

“The father of three
and My only love
Beloved by his friends
Is now above

And you survived
When you should’ve died
When your cars
collide”.

And with the sense of despair
She tried to get out of the bed
She raised her arm
to hold her aching head.

“I’m so sorry” she said,
and as she reached for her legs
She was horrified
with what she saw there.

An empty space
an amputee
Her shattered face
and nothing below the knee.

The woman stands
She starts to cry
And leaves the room
without saying goodbye.
