DOCTOR FEEL GOOD - Tina -
I still feel it, so vivid… can you recall?
Strapping me with Velcro your aids holding me down
My pleas of no no, well can you recall?
How you smiling face stared
As you wiped those pliers,
To a sparkling shine.
Pulled plastic gloves over
Those doctor hands.
I can still see, you
Flexing your grip,
Fingers stretching then
Closing into a fist.
Can you recall, remember…
Your face so close to mine
I could smell your breathing
Feel it too, upon my face
That was black and blue.
Your breath, stinging me
Do you recall?
How you pulled and tugged
Until each wire was out
Over 20 plus the 4 big ones.
Do you remember?
My blood dripping
Down my lips and chin
Sure you do. My blood
Trapped all over your gloves
And the tooth that I spit out
When I finally got to rinse.
Do you recall? The gauze
You stuffed in my mouth
To sop up the bleeding
So your work seemed clean and noble
Do you know it has been 7 yrs ?
Can you recall like I do
That day I was strapped
in your chair Way in the back room
Or did it leave your memory
Like a sweet dream lost to the light of day?
I cannot judge that’s for another
I can only forgive, and hope
You as a doctor forgot
That day , That day I can never forget.
That day I do forgive but
That day I will never forget.
