Flash, Flash, Flash
November 12, 2015
It comes back
worry and concern plastered my face
flashes of blood all over
reality, tension arises in me
anxiety kicks in quick
my heart begins pounding
and it's happening
FLASH,
there's his body
laying across my legs
I begin to shake
goose bumps cover me
reality, tears drench my face
FLASH,
I'm screaming
crying
holding him tight
blood soaks my clothes
he's gone
away with my happiness
FLASH,
he's dead
it always come back in
FLASHES

This was written for the death of a boy where the narrator remembers his death because she was holding him, and it flashes in her head all the time.
