And there was no one in that room. It's quiet down the hallway where the doctors wash their hands. Behind my eyes I feel the hollow jabs of your morphine kiss. Your anesthetic voice is autographed upon my bones. This reception died in vein. In vain. A tarnished angel leaves her ghost on the surface. A jealous daughter starves to death for the mother As I awaited your return. I wait for your return. It seems the only way that I will ever feel alive. Throw myself into my injuries and close my eyes. I'd give anything to feel alive. And I will wait for you tonight. The scalpel carves a map for you.
