Beaten into the hospital

I've been away for a while again. I know this isn't what we agreed on, but again I have a good reason. I have been in the hospital. Explains the title, right? How it happened? I met an old friend of mine and he decided to even things for something that happened two years ago. So he and his friends beaten me up.. very bad. They left me after they were done hitting the lights out of me. Luckily someone found me and called an ambulance. No serious damage but the doctor said it could have been worse, I was lucky. I still look a bit bruised, but ready to get back to writing. Well actually I started in the hospital. Here is what I wrote.

Old friends

What happened in the past
Was a whole lot different
As what happened last

I was an idiot
I admit
Though you were the one
Who dragged me in it

A big fight
In the middle of the night
Two against five
We fought as if it was for our life

Though it wasn't enough
We got beaten up
Until I saw my chance and ran
Left you back there in shock

I apologized in many ways
For many days
Though you never accepted
And so we left it

Now 2 years later
You come up to me
Calling me a traitor

Standing with your new friends
Rubbing your hands
Knowing I don't stand a chance

I am stuck and out of luck
Preparing to fight
A helpless fight
Knowing there is a dark end in sight

Waking up in a hospital
Remembering little
Memories come back with the days
As the pain stays

The police asks questions
I don't reply
If I have to
I lie

Why would I
Do this
After all you've done
Because this time
I won't run

Perhaps I deserved to be beaten up, but not beaten into the hospital. At least that's what I think. How about you ?
