Open Letter

Dear doctor,
please let me in
hospital doors flapping
like the dove's wings
give me love through the IV
or give me something to sink in
I want a love to dive in
a romantic with whom fit in
so cut me up or fix me up
it's all the same
give me medicine or just be blunt
tell me if the pain will remain
or if it will ever go away

Dear life,
I think I made a mistake
I wrote down words that I shouldn't have ever said
you can tell me I'm wrong
or just bury me away
but the truth still stands;
what's done can never be taken away
and what's with the pain anyway?
give me love or give me freedom
the polar opposites of today
I can sow a heart together
but can't seem to fix my own
I guess I probably should've known
you can't ever operate yourself
we all need someone else to take a look at our bones.
