ride
I follow them

From you











to machine
and back

I can tell it hurts





and that you're scared

But I missed you so much
I'll come


and hate to go

You were always strong
Never showing





pain

But now it's okay

I'm here

I'll take care of you
When you finally come home

Because when you're gone

My sanity has checked in
To the hospital with you

Struggling to get out
Struggling to get free

Come home soon



Without you my life is a mess
Come home soon



I don't own a black dress
