I hear the rustling of wind in my ear
A whisper of unabashed fear
I grip my stomach to stop wrenching from this pain
From the injuries that they were to sustain
I closed my eyes and held them shut
Watched the images come and go
The nightmares of blood and tears
And I awake gasping for air, fear in my eyes
Reaching out for help with silent cries
A flash of crumpled metal and blood
With the moans and screams pulsing through my ears
The vision of their faces blurs and disappears
They fade further away and I can't hear them anymore
Now all that's left is the pounding in my head: I chose to ignore
I wake up out of breath and dripping sweat
My heart hammering; my thoughts, my dream making me upset
They chose to ignore their instincts and stop to sleep
And now these horrid images they will keep
And here I am keeping them too
They can't suffer this alone; I'll help them through.
This is about a car accident my friends were in, my brother was supposed to be with them!
