Push that button if you need anything.

by Marionette   Feb 28, 2009


"Push that button, if you need anything.
Anything at all." she smiles and leaves.
I'm laying in bed, sending her with my eyes.
Did she really mean that? Anything?

"Is something wrong?" she's here again.
Of course there is, i pushed the button, didn't I?
"My pillow's too soft and my mouth is dry.
Could you pick that up?" I dropped my pen.

"You rang." she's not smiling anymore.
"Could you open a window and let in some air,
maybe dry my eyes and kill my despair?
Could you fix my heart, it's just so sore?"

"I'm not a God, I'm only a nurse!
I give you some pills that put you to sleep."
After taking them i sink into nightmares so deep.
And i can't wake up, those pills are like curse.

I'm there again, in the middle of the sea,
screaming your name, trying to find you...
I see your head, then it's lost in the blue...
I finally open my eyes and can't breathe.

My hand reaches to the button, but...
what are you doing, silly girl, they don't fix shattered hearts and broken dreams in hospitals....

P.S. I know it's not very good. I was trapped in a hospital and under meds when i wrote this...
