Jane Doe is back from the dead
She's risen out of the coma of dark despair
Her eyes alive, vitals revived
Now inhaling fresh air
After months and months of sleeping life away in
REM movements of yesterday
Mouth glued shut with no words to say
Finally, the water drip is now dry
It's really a miracle that Jane Doe didn't die
She came close though, too close
Barely hanging on by a thread
Paralyzed and isolated from a blow to the head
I did pray, yes I prayed for Jane to hold on
Wondering what life would be like if she were gone
I admit at one point I gave up hope
Sure she wouldn't make it
I walked away from her bedside because I couldn't take it
As I reached the door, I turned around for one last look
And it seemed as if her cold, limp body slightly shook
There was still some life left in her after all
What if I made the decision to pull the plug?
Then no one would ever know what she's capable of
Now Jane Doe is feeling stronger
I don't worry that she's dying any longer
