I still remember the accident
As clear as day.
The blinding headlights
Coming at me around the corner.
I had no time to brake
No time to think
Before it hit.
I remember
The glass of my windshield shattering
My bloodcurdling scream
As sharp jagged pieces tore into my skin.
But after that is nothing.
When I woke up
I was here
In the between
Staring at my own body
Barely recognizable
Puddles of crimson surrounded me
The ivory of bone shone through
The peeled back skin.
My once bright grassy green eyes
Were open and lifeless.
I think I cried
But maybe I was just in shock.
I couldn't comprehend
I was terrified.
However
My heart did not race
It couldn't
Because it no longer had a beat.
I was numb all over
The only pain being
The vast emptiness in my chest.
I couldn't bring myself to move
Not even when the ambulances showed up.
The paramedics tried
They tried so hard
But I was far beyond anyone's help.
I tried screaming
To tell them I was there
But nobody listened.
They could not hear me
I was silent
I was nothing.
Why, why, why?
