Description
Fear to close my eyes
My blood contains pins
Stomache's inside out
'Nother night begins
---***---
All hope, invisible
Pours out of my eyes
Night cannot comfort
My sanity dies
---***---
Bigger than needles
They stick into me
Sharp, dark and evil
I'd rather not see
---***---
Grinning, the doctors
Say all will be fine
Away with some bone
To better define
---***---
Come, sunlight, warm me
Breeze, blow me away
Remove this madness
Gently sleep, I pray
---***---
Life's dreamland pleasures
Turned into a curse
I'm shaking in fear
The waiting's far worse
For some who have had hydro- and oxyodone as post-operation painkillers, an unexpected psychotic reaction can occur. This might happen even if the patient had those medicines before. It is something we all should be aware of. As you see, the patient (the subject of the poem) is blind-sided by the sudden and tragic.
Gothic content: hopelessness, fear, and doom.
