5 seconds

5 seconds

A Poem by Hachamecha

One moment 
You are laughing
next
you are sent
in a frenzy

A frenzy 
of earthquakes
nature's
fury

5 seconds 
of silence
from life 
to nothing

Your last 5 seconds
before your life changes

You had a life
now you have none

You were talking to a friend
fury hits

When it's over
the other side is dead

for 5 seconds
screaming
you heard concrete 
falling

falling on her
crushing her
silencing her scream

sickening crunch
of the bones

you just listened
to
her death

you heard her scream
with her last breath

you picture her
dead
lips blue

you picture her
crushed under the concrete
arms at an awkward angle

shaking
scared

just in 5 seconds
life slipped up
