Chapter 37:
Something's Not Right
❦
I wake up
and the nurses aren't
following me like shadows
anymore.
Moonlight Sonata
seeps
through the walls.
I'm alone.
I'll go back
to sleep.
My body moves
without my knowledge.
I'm downstairs
before I know it.
Gavin
(seated in his armchair)
closes his eyes
to avoid
seeing me walk past.
Tammie smiles at me from hers,
swinging her legs.
There're
more bruises
than before.
She's pole dancing
all wrong
because there's
no one to teach her.
I remember
the reckless promise I made to Tammie.
Thanks to that slip up of reality,
Tammie now thinks
we'll be friends even outside this asylum.
I don't remember
what she did back then
but telling her,
'I can't. I want to die,'
is no good
anymore.
I'm starting to think about the future.
