Walking through the doors at the nurse smiling shyly. I know this time it will be a while. You''ve gone again, those fucking doors closed And our daughter cries in my stomach. Her dad won’t be back for a while As your mind consumes all of your body. My body lunges forward, lying face down on the dirt. You’re safe. I tried so hard but you’re safe As your thoughts eat your brain alive. At least I know you’re safe Researched 6 new medications in 7 weeks Now I don’t recognize you but I love you And the doctors tell me it will get better Oh please get better. Our daughter needs you Society’s misconception that all these people are crazy No. No. They are getting better Educate yourself, and your brain grows branches Feed your brain with weeds and it dies We''re all just people trying to get better. Now tell me whose fault it is your brain’s screaming. PLEASE TELL ME. 8 months later, you''re ready to come home. You look better, but words are wounds Now let’s hope it doesn’t happen again Because the sounds of the doors closing never goes away Never Love doesn’t change... we never signed a paper saying “for better or for worse”. Love is standing, cold, tired, pupils wide. Standing there for when the nurse’s fucking smile makes me sick because I know you can get better And love is nothing but change For when you’re better, I’m whole again.... |
