If Only There Were Second Chances

If Only There Were Second Chances

A Poem by Linzey

I can still feel myself falling
And I know it's never going to end
I can even see myself lying there on the cold reddened ground
Chests are barely moving
Breath is escaping from the ever closing lips of life
Yet, eyes stay open to tell the story through her... my tears

Music blaring in the background of this slow moving memory
I see red on everyone's hands
Visions blur to the point that faces are unrecognizable
And I can still feel myself falling
Onto the couch that used to keep me next to my friends late at night
Where I could feel the happiness that I thought I felt then
One thing led to another and I realized things might be worse than it seems

I hear slamming all around me
I don't really know why
All I do know is that I want to get away from here
It's pushing all of these horrible memories back at me
I can still feel myself falling
I can feel the wind around me even though i'm not outside
yet, one other seems to realize this wind too
Eyes so wide, but not scared
Saying, lets just make it home. All I want to do is sleep

Confusion comes back again
I'm spinning, unable to gain control of anything
Especially my own life
I'm falling
I hear metal scrape, bend, collapse
Pain sears through my ever so fragile body
A silent scream
Darkness

I can still feel myself falling
Staring up at the sky
At the stars
Oh how beautifully they shine tonight
Other lights flash red and blue
All that matter now are the stars
I can feel myself being lifted
Even though I'm still laying on this cold red ground
Tonight I will become part of the stars
I will watch everyone in this cruel, demonic world

When it rains it will be my tears due to the horrors that tug on my soul
The memories that will never fade
The wind will be of my screams
Trying so hard to tell them that they shouldn't be as careless as I
Lightning flashes to show my eyes
Anger and frustration filling the sky

Yet, in the end they will never learn
No matter what they won't listen
They'll be just as foolish as I was
I know just how much they'll regret their actions
Soon they'll be able to see others like I am
Crying and alone
Seeing the ground redden and their limbs scattered around

Even now I can still feel myself falling
It reminds me how all I want to say is I'm sorry
I love you
Please forgive me
I thought that I was just going to have a little fun tonight
I didn't expect to die...
Just make sure the next person I see ending up like me
Isn't you
