Hospital

Written By Madi Sweitzer

A treatment, however hard it tries,

Will always be fake.

Does the treatment make you shiver?

Does it?


I cannot help but stop and look at the depressing hospital.

Does the hospital make you shiver?

Does it?


The patient lies like a ghost.

Peer down into the darkness of the patient,

Down, down, down to see the light go out.

Does the dark make you shiver?

Does it?
