Taken aback,
Quick breath in,
Heart beats fast,
Eyes widen slightly.
Laying in the grass,
Dancing beneath the stars,
Endless laughter,
And the pinch of pain.
Fingers tightly intertwined,
Candles burning forever,
With broken smiles and hearts,
Now healed and bandaged.
Drenched in Happiness,
Dry with angst,
Trouble starts here,
Let it all begin.
Feelings set in,
Sending your stomach into a panic,
You feel the pain…
Everywhere.
You kick and scream,
Trying to fight it off,
The bites and scratches,
Slowly turn to blackness.
Burns and pricks,
Start to consume you,
The breath stays slow,
Heart races as tears come,
Eyes close,
As they roll down your cheeks.
Sitting up and holding your knees,
Endless running,
And there’s the end of pain.
Cigarette intertwined
Between the fingers,
With not enough light,
To guide the paralyzed survivor,
Soaked in sadness,
Dry with angst,
Thrown forward,
Completely alone.
