Comatose

Stuck in this fragile state
Silence
That's all that's there day after day

Unable to make choices
Frozen
Trapped in a frozen waterfall

How long will this last?
No way to tell
Will it go by fast?
Or take it's time
Only time will tell

Falling faster and faster now
All these emotions speed by
Hate, Anger
Love, Happiness

I can see a light
Darkness fading
Warmth returns like a shot to the heart
Everything becomes a little clearer

Familiar sounds
Voices of people I know
The beeping of the heart rate monitor
Drizzling rain

I open my eyes for the first time in months
At first it's bright
A blinding light
Then it recedes
The intense light of the sun

As I glance around the room
There's no one here
Decaying flowers stand beside me
Petals litter the small bedside table
It's not raining any more
The sky is lit up once again

The machines aren't working
Screens are simply blank
No lights on, either
Where's everybody?

For a few minutes I lie in bed
The same bed I've been confined to for God knows how long
Trying to process this situation
No answer comes to mind

I stand up
Or try to at least
With my legs out of commission for so long
I fall to the floor

With a few exercises
The feeling comes back
I rise shakily to my feet and look out the window

No one
Empty cars for blocks
But no people

Am I truly alone?

Then,
A thought
One that doesn't make sense
But I can't shake it
Could it be possible?
Nothing else makes sense
But neither does this

Zombies

Maybe I am alone
