Description
One day
I woke up to the sound of breaking.
The fire was outside my window
And the smoke streamed in over my head
And the sirens, oh, the sirens
The red and the blue and the red reflected
On grey and black and grey and death.
I thought about how my heart
Had ached and my lungs had burned
And I closed my eyes.

One day
I woke up to the sound of stillness.
The needle sunk in my wrist
And the blurriness clouded my vision
And the beeping, oh, the beeping
The red and the black and the red smeared across
The white and grey and white and nothing.
I thought about how my mind
Had ran and my muscles had atrophied
And I closed my eyes.

One day
I woke up to the sound of screaming.
The fists were pounding on my door
And the blood was pouring on my sheets
And the crying, oh, the crying
The red and the red and the red running across
My black and pink and blackened scars.
I thought about how I would
Never hear anything again
And I closed my eyes.
And I smiled.
