"Please take a seat; And fill out your forms"
Said the nurse behind the counter; Another patient; the norm
And she is yawning and gazing; And looking at the time
Wondering when her shift is over; Closing her eyes, such a crime
And she stares at the lovely lady; through the glass straight ahead
She looks normal enough; but somethings not right there instead
The police are by her side, they are keeping her close
Driving her there; she is mumuring and staring forward at most
And as the nurse types; she sits there and stares
Just what is happening; to the lovely lady; the nurse wonders and cares
She cannot fill the forms in; the lady is slurring her words
The police are not quite right; the police losing their nerves
And the nurse follows what she does; they take a seat
In the waiting room; in amongst the other patients, lines so neat
The nurse watches her precisely; she is not quite all right
She is doing just things unexpected; on that unusual night
With the ER full, the nurse wanders around
Completing her tasks; booking other patients in she found
And losing track of the lovely lady; she is gone into the rooms
She does not know what happened; it all happened to soon
And as the nurses day closes out, comes to a end
She goes up to her locker; wanting to find the lady friend
And she wanders around; she finds her without a care
She sits down as a visitor; and falls to sleep then and there
And after a little while; the patient wakes up
Touches the nurse on the shoulder; and asks for a tea cup
And the nurse is startled; she did not know just where
And quietly she asks the lovely lady; Why is she there?
And the lady informs her; softly at first
It's just a memory of my childhood; about to burst
And there the lovely lady starts; to tell her the detail
Of what this monster paedophile did; in all its curtail
And there the nurse sits; tears running down her face
The lovely lady there claims to her; a new memory, of this place
For you see I cannot tell; What is true and what is not
Everything I imagine is possible; a horror thought triggering the lot
This new memory may be right; or it may be wrong indeed
But all I know I am in hospital;so I don't know, I'm just in need
And the nurse after listening;For many hours it seemed,
Wiping away the horror;From her weeping eyes starting to gleam
And shaking her head, listening to years of abuse
How the lovely lady hid, fought, cried, Angered, ran, every excuse
And when nurse finally left, after hearing the pain
The nurse wandered off; to the cafe booth; for coffee grain
And picking up the phone, she presses the buttons not so mild
"Hello dad, she said" "How dare you do that to me as a child"
And she started to scream,For she knew she could not hold on
The lady had triggered something within her;A major calm to a storm
And the nurse started screaming and screaming;Her face going blank
Telling her father in every tone; He was awful and rank
The pain came from deep within her;Unknown what to do
She just had to get it out; The screams of a soul, lost out there too
For your see, the lovely lady's courage; had given her the strength
To progress forward, to go ahead to Move forward at any length
And as she hung up the phone; She slammed it across the table top
Looking up where she was; the nurse's stomach turned in knots
Everyone was standing,raised to their feet
Slowly clapping, For her unbelievable feat
But the nurse did not hear it; she was thanking the lord,
For delivering the lovely lady; as she is not alone anymore
