Life
in slow motion
(Title of a song by David Gray)
(Title of a song by David Gray)
I remember it all too well
Is this it?
How I’m going out
Like this?
Four seconds of hell
Expand into forever
In perfect clarity
Every agonizing detail
Senses in overdrive
Eyes wide
No!
I pray to my god
Make my peace
A force greater
Than this shell
Hits
Punctures through
With a pain, unknown
A shattering of bones
Down
Forced along
When will this end, stop?
A mangled mess
Collapse
Blackout…
…stillness
Crimson warmth
Stemming the flow
Holding life in your hands
Never giving up
Refusing not to
Quit
I can never thank you
Enough
I remember it
All
Too well
