A Glimpse Of Death
By Nici
It happened Your addiction raped you left you to drown. I picked you up Blood oozed from your mouth Pale skin and slow heart beat So still So quiet. I took you by my side walked you down the stairs your mother was crying your father, still drunk on the couch. I slid you in the seat of my car Your head against the window My hand inside yours I cursed you "I hate you! I hate you!" Five years of love Ten seconds of death You tried to speak Your words gurgled from the blood. Emergency Room Hell I sat and waited The white walls echoed Angels played cards in the waiting room. You had not died No, not yet I gave you back the ring Once they removed The tube from your stomach. Written October 8th, 2001 © on Oct 08 2001 12:30 PM PST 0 • 10
