the void between living and dying.
you left with a destination in mind.
liquid courage pumping through your veins.
but somewhere along your way, your judgement was proven wrong.
as you lost control, your instincts told you to correct.
and this proved to be fatal.
as your body lay halfway outside the car I can only imagine what you were thinking.
about your loved ones....
about your regrets.....
about your life.....
and as you sat wondering when you would die, we found you.
I have never felt so helpless in my life as I heard you choking on blood.
seeing it pour out onto the tree you were stuck on.
as I watched your chest take short heavy breaths, my mind left my body.
the beauty of the paramedics orchestrating your rescue was overpowering.
and as I watched you die, my heart felt heavy.
the last people you were close to before you slipped into a coma were strangers.
not your family or loved ones.
what will they say?
their eyes swollen with tears.
their hearts broken with loss.
and to think, we were the last ones you were close to as you died.....
fuck....
/////////////////////////////////////////
I've never watched someones life leave them before.
take their last breaths.
make their peace with God as they accept the inevitable.
and it is something that I will never forget.
something I will take with me to the grave.
a scar unlikely to be shed.
he looked young too....
fuck........
