AN: Hi, gang! I'm so glad you all liked the last chapter! This one changes the mood quite a bit- very sad this time, I'm afraid. This ficlet came about while listening to "Miracle Drug" by U2. (Love that song!) It's not really a poem- or a songfic…it's…well, I just can't describe it. (I know, it's kind of short...) I do hope you like it though- please do drop me a review.
Readrbug21: Haha, no, I had to do some research for the words, sadly.
Snowboarder9;Greg9570: Thanks!
Funkymunkey224: Aww, shucks.
acosta pérez josé ramiro: You put us native English-speakers to shame, Haha! Glad you liked it!
Mysticofthepen: Thanks. I was just sick of the disarray my stories were in…
Cutie5: Thank you- I've come a long way since my first fan fictions!

(Note: To set the scene: Cindy is in the hospital, Jimmy come to see her. She has lapsed into a coma- no one knows if she will ever recover.)
Wake Up
-
I wish I could see into your mind.
-
I wish I could fix all your problems.
-
I want to be what you need- what you want, but I don't know where to start.
-
"Mr. Neutron? You may see her now."
-
Your eyes are what I dream about now- the liquid pools of green I never noticed.
-
I constantly wish to feel your hands in mine- soft to the touch, strong under pressure; just like you.
-
The dark, dark lashes that follow the decent of each blink- they intrigue me- they pull me in.
-
Your hair is soft- is it any less than clouds? It fills my mind, bellowing into my dreams.
-
"She's so…peaceful. Will she ever-"
-
Something as simple as your grin- why is it controlling me? Every word I say is attached to the strings pulled by your mouth. I only want to see you smile.
-
I'm fascinated by the way you walk- slow and deliberate, fast and unpredictable. You glide in and out of my dreams- do you know it?
-
"She's in there somewhere…"
-
I don't need to wish for your voice. I hear it everywhere I go. You haunt me day and night.
-
You're pulling on my heart with every intake of air-do you mean to breathe the way you do? I would hold my breath so you can take yours.
-
Your tears, they carry so much weight- heavy like the burdens I take to ease your pain. Don't cry- I want to make it better.
-
"Cindy? If…if you can hear me- I'm here. I'm…always here. I always will be."
-
I need you.
-
"Please…please wake up."
-
I need you.
-
"Come back to us, Cindy- wherever you are- come back to us."
-
I need you.
-
"Cindy- I'm…I'm so sorry. So sorry…"
-
Like the beat, beat, of my heart,
-
I need you.
-
Wake up...
