Straitjacket

I came to bring your cup of tea
But I discovered that you'd fled!
I'm sure I locked you in that room...
Or was that me instead?
Ha! I bet you think you've won
Laughing from some corner
Of this thickly padded cell
At me crying like a mourner
Why did you leave me here
Surrounded by these crowds
There's hundreds trapped with me
In a small room lined with clouds
Sorry to burst your bubble
But I guess that I'm the real winner!
I'm the underdog in this city!
I'm the angel and the sinner!
It's so quiet now I'm all alone
Not even you by my side
I tell the doctors about you too
But they told me you'd died
More than that, they say it was me
That plunged the knife into your chest
I'm sorry but I don't remember
The blood across your breast
I hammer my fists into the walls
Then gouge my skin till it bleeds
I roll around sobbing on the floor
When I think of my misdeeds
They say I suppress the memories
And scream incoherent words
I know how you can sing, my star
So sweetly like the birds
Sing me to sleep, tell me the truth
Where have you gone my love?
I feel so angry deep inside!
How dare you leave, my dove!
No doctor, thank you, I'm just great
I don't need your help, I'm fine
Why thank you nurse, I like that jacket
I swear it looks like mine!
You want me to wear it? Really?
And stop tearing out my hair?
Why yes of course, whatever you wish
Just mind that corner there.
Why you ask? It's nothing much
It's just my wife playing hide and seek
She's toying with my brain, dear nurse
She likes me mild and meek!
