Patient like a ghost

Patient long term stay (1+ year) During Covid virus epidemic https://suno.com/s/CVcyJqq5S69O1PwH *Verse 1** Cold fluorescents hums above my bed, Steel vines crawl across the sheets I dread. Wires like spiders spin around my chest, Each beep a whisper that won't let me rest. I reach for water, but the tubes pull tight, A prisoner wrapped in this sterile light. The door stays closed, the hallway stays the same, And no one comes to call my name. **Chorus** *They say they're calling, but I can't reach the phone,* *I see it charging, and still I'm alone.* *No one is there that I can see,* *All they say is they care about me.* *Voices through wires, but no hand to hold,* *Words grow distant, and the room grows cold.* **Verse 2** I counted footsteps that walked on past my door, Counted the faces I don't see anymore. Where were the voices that swore they'd be near? Their promises faded, but my walls still hear. A quiet anger burns beneath the gown, Heavy as the silence pressing down. You said forever, then forever changed, Now I'm just a number, distant and rearranged. **Chorus** *They say they're calling, but I can't reach the phone,* *I see it charging, and still I'm alone.* *No one is there that I can see,* *All they say is they care about me.* *Voices through wires, but no hand to hold,* *Words grow distant, and the room grows cold.* **Verse 3** But a few hands held mine through the longest night, A few soft prayers became my only light. Now I see clearly who the real ones are, The ones who crossed the miles, who came this far. Let the machines tangle, let the IVs cling, I've learned the truth in the songs they sing. When the web unravels and I walk free, I'll remember who remembered me. **Final Chorus (softer)** *They said they were calling, I couldn't reach the phone,* *It stayed on the charger, and I stayed alone.* *But now I see who was truly there,* *Not just the ones who said they care.* *Some held my hand through the longest night,* *And they're the ones I'll hold in the light.* **Outro (whispered)** *Hush now... the monitors fade...* *Love isn't measured in the words they say ,* *But in the ones who stayed.*
