Recovery

You tore me down
like a piece of paper in a shredder
I was weary to give it to you
You held my heart
Next thing I know
you're throwing it
My sight blurs
A salty drop of water reaches my mouth
And then another and another
I turn
I run
SPLAT
Sticky red stuff hits me
I run into something
Everything goes black

Light
Bright white light
Focus
White walls
White bed
White equipment
Black screen
Green lines
Where am I?
Am I in Heaven?
Door opens
Person
A doctor
"Am I in Heaven?"
"Haha, no. I'm Dr. Heart. We're fixing your heart."
"You can fix it?!"
"Yes, now go back to sleep."
I close my eyes

Life
A million different pictures
A million different places
I'm strong
I'm happy
I'm more excited than I have been in years
I feel as if I'm in "Mary Poppins"
Stop
There's pounding
It's rhythmic
There's a beat
Pause
Fingers on wrist
A heartbeat!
I have a heartbeat!
My heart is whole
And it's lite as a feather
You didn't kill me
You made me stronger
Thanks to you I can conquer the world
I'm in love again
But not with you
