The Critical Condition of the Heart
Hospital beds
Doctors and nurses
And the smell of medicine lingering around
Some family members here and there
Some receiving good news and some receiving bad
Some eating and drinking coffee
And some crying or waiting for news
And here I am
Laying in the hospital bed
Never pictured this
With the white sheets and hooked up to machines
IV in my arms
And suffering
Suffering from heartbreak, damage to the heart, and unhappiness
But why?
I guess this is what happens when the heart has had enough
I've had tried to survive the damages but it was too late
And here I lay in the hospital bed
With a coma and I can't see nothing in sight
Not aware of anything
My brain isn't functioning
And its almost like I was dead
Did I die?
What was happening to me?
It felt like I had died and went to heaven
But I wouldn't know how it would feel
Or did I really know?
Was all this possible?
To die but to still be alive?
I was suffering from all this hurt
Allowing myself to constantly get hurt
And not protecting my heart
This is where this gets me....
In a coma because I couldn't take control
And recognize the signs my body was telling me
But I was so in love with you
You were everything to me
But I wasn't anything to you
I was just another girl to you
And this is where this gets me....
The more heartbreak
The more my heart began to shut down like an old car that won't start
Soon it was less blood flowing through my veins
And the heart stopped pumping
Now it's the coma stage...
As I start to think to myself
None of it was worth it
It tore my family and me apart
Will my heart ever recover?
The heart is a place where there are different emotions
Sensitivity much
But it's nothing to play with
The Critical Condition of the Heart
