I'm walking down the road,
That's so calm beneath my feet,
When a sudden burst of pain,
Drops me to the street.
Overwhelming terror.
Heat swelling within my chest.
Shock stealing my control from me.
Blood trickling down my breast.
Scared and madly shaking,
I raise me hand to my breast,
To slow my sacred liquid life,
From spilling out my chest.
Overpowering calmness.
My body slowly numbing.
My heart and lungs are weakening.
Colours are now fading.
My urge to scream now past,
I accept what I've been dealt,
I think about the life I lived,
And all the things I've felt.
I'm slipping away.
