A Moment of Life and Death

Sirens wailing
Vision fading
A life being whisked away
A heartbeat monitor flatlining

A moment of life
Another heartbeat returns
A moment of death
All feeling goes away

People screaming
Machines buzzing
A hand gripping mine
My mind wanders off

I wonder if it was worth it
Pulling the trigger
Then I remember I would do it
I would do it all over again

A life fades away
A moment collapses
I want to forget
When the light comes long
