Avalon

Phillip E. Mitchell

It was raining on valentine's day
When you'd almost given up
Mother slept it off for a while
And my brother and i got drunk

While you were tied in electric chains
I was passed out on the floor
For three long nights
No one came to your hospital door

Time moves slowly here in avalon
We live only for a little while
We must love while we can
And carry the weight on our backs

Room 232 i set my bag down on the floor
You were there with your eyes on the tv
The tv was turned off
I think it was a surprise to see me
As i fell into the chair
You said you thought that you were forsaken
Well, not while i'm still here
