Heal

At this bitter cold crossroads,
A body lies naked, broken, bleeding.
A hole embedded in his chest,
once covered with self constructed scars,
now ripped open, helplessly exposed.

The blood rushing out, each faint heart beat,
one step closer to the last.
What was once reality, seems like some twisted dream.
The air that once gave life, has turned toxic,
choking the very life out of what was meant to be.

Such a tragic accident, such a horrible mistake.
Going left, going right, going wrong.
5 minutes early, 5 minutes too late.
The innocent lives, once lived,
now thrown face down, breathless in the street.

The bones, so badly broken.
The damage, so devastatingly deep.
The life that was once lived, now lost.
The body that was once whole, now disfigured, disconnected.
The wounds that may never heal..
