Epilogue

In a nightmare I am falling

From the ceiling into bed beside you

You're asleep, I'm screaming

Shoving you to try to wake you up

And like before you've got not interest

In the life you live when you're awake

Your dreams still follow storylines

Like fictions you would make

So I lie down against your back

Until we're both back in the hospital

But now it's not a cancer ward

We're sleeping in the morgue

Men and women, blue and white

They are singing all around you

With heavy shovels holding earth

You're being buried to your neck

In that hospital bed

Being buried quite alive now

I'm trying to dig you out but

All you want's to be buried there together

You're screaming and cursing

And angry and hurting me

And then smiling and crying

Apologizing

I've woken up, I'm in our bed

But there's no breathing body there beside me

Someone must have taken you

While I was stuck asleep

But I know better as my eyes adjust

You've been gone for quite a while now

I don't work there in the hospital

They had to let me go

When I try to move my arms sometimes

They weigh too much to lift

I think you buried me awake

My one and only parting gift

But you return to me at night

Just when I think I may have fallen asleep

Your face is up against mine

And I'm too terrified to speak

You're screaming and cursing

And angry and hurting me

And then smiling and crying

Apologizing

You're screaming and cursing

And angry and hurting me

And then smiling and crying

Apologizing

You're screaming and cursing

And angry and hurting me

And then smiling and crying

Apologizing
