A side-story in same universe as "Talking." If you haven't read "Talking," this might still make sense. Maybe.
?The Hospital and Other Me
Other me, who is she?
The woman in glowing white
Holding beautiful needles
That she jams into my neck
With smiling eyes as I scream
Who is she?
_
She strolls from shadows
Should I wake up at night
A moon with huge black eyes
With hair like string in a bun
A syringe parked behind an ear
To prod me to sleep
_
She flaps the wings of curtains
And they fold neatly together
Keeping us safe and blind
So we can lay on our clouds
Stare at the ceiling and drift
After the white wasp has stung
_
Based off these, I know her now:
She is our knight in shining white
Having slain the red monster
But also the witch of the story
Keeping us under her spell
Prisoners in her pale castle
_
She knows we want to leave:
With quiet steps and no mouth
Just a mask and smiling eyes
She reached for her stingers
And her claws found nothing
Her eyes still smiled as they saw
Just one in your shaking hand
To push her into the clouds with.
Hmm. Feedback, anyone? Tell me.
