We were dead before we hit the floor

The blurred faces around me
who are they?
what are they saying?
Theres something about this pain
wait...what happened?
where am I?
Everything seems so unreal
this feels so...different....
am I dreaming?

my body lies so cold on the stretcher
bleeding from anothers hate
am I to die tonight?
The victim of a random bullet
or was this planned
Divine intervention.......
from the end of a barrel
the green line paces faster
before it settles like the surface
after all the ripples have stopped

Is my heart still beating
maybe it can't beat in my throat
maybe I'm just trying.......
to explain away the silence
in this cold, sterile place.......

Tonight I die alone
shot up in the streets
the doctors tried to save me
but theres just no heart beat
maybe its my adrenaline
that kept me asking questions
that kept me on the fine line
between sanity and madness
before i walked across another line
the one from life to death
how long will this grid line go?

When will I find life again?
When will my heart beat free again?
When will it be filled with love again?
When will I see her face again?
.............................when?
~JTR~

I don't even know.

    many nights i have lied awake bleeding from what words have come from others mouths. the words that perice the heart and cause me to ache. i could not have put it in better words than you have done so right here. you are the one that keeps my heart beating.

    only think I'd change is the title
    everything else works pretty good together
    I've been at the point between life and death it
    was filled with peace for me.
    Roses to you
