In the night
alone
no one told me to watch my back
and now here I am
laying on the ground
hearing the thump of my heart
and also the thumping of running feet away from me
the pain past unbearable
my blood blessing my new clothes
in fact they were bought today
I am floating
and I totally freak
flailing
yet I am myself still
just feeling a bit lighter
the ground feeling friendly again under my feet
then I look down
it is me
a shell of nothing
a bloody dead mess
I look to the sky
"Where is the light?" I cry
no answer
just the silence of night
well, except for the crickets wooing the moon
I expected death to be different
where was heaven or hell
this plain of existence I dreaded through life
Release Me! Let me go to Heaven!" I screamed
but nothing
Trudging
I could be alive and warm in bed
but not even the cold night effects me
I glimpse others
faint like me
hanging about the living
"Aw, give it a break! Leave them alone!" I said
They do not know you are there."
a hand grabbed me
pulling me back
I had to turn my head
and when I did
it was an Angel
"You are hear to release me?" I asked
"No, my child. You are not yet dead.
"Bleeding, still warm, yet still living," he replied.
and he dragged me back to me mangled body
throwing me back
into the pain of the flesh
and in the distance I hear an ambulance
The Angel was a simple man
and he smiled then left as he had appeared
I cried out because of the pain
starting to forget my nearly close death
for now I was released from death
who knows what other things I will see
but I am a bloody mess still
and getting over this is priority
I pray to God a prayer of thanks
and hope to see Him when I am released from Life for good
