As I was getting ready for bed,
I felt this weird ache in my chest.
I fell hard on the floor and shivered again,
Clutched my body as as my breath quickened
times ten.
I lay there for a long time, seconds, minutes,
I wasn't sure,
I lay on the cold hard marble next to my
bedroom door.
I tried to call for help, but I couldn't talk.
I tried to reach my phone, but I couldn't
walk.
My body trembled in pain and grew cold,
and I swear to you I tried to be bold.
But every time I'd make a move to get back
on my feet again
My body would give into the pain I couldn't
explain.
Soon, the cold, hard floor got more
comfortable than my bed.
So I lay there for as long as I could, with all
my cries unsaid.
Tears streamed down my cheeks
The tremors I feel would keep
me from saying
exactly what I was feeling.
So I backed myself up against the wall,
Hugged my knees against my chest, feeling
small.
I couldn't call for help, and I tried, but in
vain,
I couldn't overcome the pain I couldn't
explain.
