So scared, confused, and hurt
I feel nothing
I can't move
I hear no one
We're riding at 70 miles per hour
in the freezing cold
but I don't feel it
my fingers are numb
but I can't move to warm them
he's asking me if I want to pull over
but I can't hear him
I'm sitting on a hard bench
against a brick wall
but I don't feel it
I have a cup of hot chocolate in my hand
but I can't move to drink it
he's telling me he'll be right back
but I don't hear him
We're standing on the side of the road
cars rush by kicking up rocks
but I don't feel it
I'm holding the flashlight
but I can't move to point it at the bike
he's telling me we'll be home soon
but I can't hear him
We're crawling into bed
the sheets are so cold
but I don't feel it
my legs are freezing
but I can't move to get pajamas
he's telling me goodnight
but I don't hear him
I wake up to my alarm
remembering the pain of the day before
and I can feel it
I'm not being held
so I move to cuddle up next to him
he's saying he has to go
and I hear him
I am so
scared
confused
and hurt
