I've never felt more alone in that moment,
dead line in hand,
 faint radio waves mixed with the static of the dial tone.
detached, I walk aimlessly out the door
where? how? Were you alone.....
why......
I was only gone for a minute... or an hour.... after six days straight
I'm sorry,
Hey.... do you remember......
that damn blessed day
You opened your eyes, and for once, I couldn't blink my tears away
at first you screamed, so meekly
then cooed in insitent tones,
and I could do nothing but look at you
strangely I watched you as you went
through shades of color, and your weak protests gurgled.
Couldn't help but watch so surreal I must have gasped... or maybe I cried out...
but they took you away Angel.
The background noise faultered in and out of drowining ears
and the days rip-tides taking you and giving you back......
as if I was your life jacket...that kept pulling you to surface...
they said you were finally stable...
I should go home to rest......
and now my sweet... I lay you in your bed.
