I sit here in the hospital,
Clutching at your hand.
Willing you to wake up,
To return to this land.
You lie here in a deep deep sleep,
Knowing nothing at all.
You don't hear anything I say,
You don't answer when I call.
If it hadn't been for the car crash,
You wouldn't be this way.
Not lying doing nothing,
Not moving or speaking day after day.
I remember it all to well,
Its engraved in my mind.
We were driving along the motorway,
When that truck hit from behind.
A squeal of brakes,
And a flash of red.
The next thing I knew,
We are both here instead.
Oh god how I hate the man that did this,
Left you here half dead.
Now you lie hardly breathing,
Not stirring from your bed.
But honey please come back soon,
Without you there isn't a me.
Ill be all alone in the big wide world,
I cant live without you, don't you see?
The monitor by your bedside suddenly starts beeping,
What does that mean, I cry,
But doctors and nurses come and wheel you away,
Oh god please don't let him die...
I sit here hardly daring to breath,
Time seems to of slowed down.
And suddenly I hear a voice,
And a doctor stands before me, wearing a frown.
Miss can I have a word? he says,
I want to shout NO! NO YOU CANT!
But instead I let myself be led limply away,
I'm thinking no, no you aren't....
Please god if your up there,
You wont let this become.
But deep inside I know its already happened,
Thats why I feel so numb.
I'm sorry to say, he begins,
But we couldn't save his life.
Hes gone I'm afraid, he is no more,
His words stab me like a knife.
Oh baby, why did you go?
You know what this means.
Ill have to follow you, you realize,
Die young: just got out my teens.
So I run outside,
With a feeling of dread.
I walk in front of a car,
And next thing, I'm dead.
So it turned out a double tragedy,
Both of us gone at only twenty two.
But honey when I found out you had gone,
I couldn't see things through...
Just so you know, this didn't happen to me. I'm sorry if this offends anyone who has had a relative in a coma, because I know some people don't like others writing about experiences they haven't had.
