I lie motionless on the pavement I have no idea what has happened I see blood on my sleeves I see people running towards me speaking I see lights flashing I hear sirens But the sound goes off followed by the lights I wake up in a hospital bed My family surrounds me I look but cannot speak And cannot move I breathe by myself barely I look to the people I love My mother cries as does my aunt My father stands by my bed I grow tired and daze I wake up to see my friends They speak to me and I hear I try to respond but cannot Days pass bye I learn of a richochet shooting A casuality of war the boy said Victim to timing I think One day I wake up I see you in the room Your crying and you sit by me You whisper things to me I start seeing you more Some days you stay alone with me Reading to me and singing me songs I hate that I cannot speak and you hate it more I grow better in some days I start to speak a little before you see me When you see me you ask "What can I do for you?" I look up into your brownish eyes I work up a smile and say "To hear your voice is enough." You cry and hug me. Monthes go bye Your visits are shorter The singing and reading is gone But you still come I have recovered... As good as I can My hair is long A beard is on my face The door opens to you home Your mother hugs me Likes the hair she says I always reply thank ya I see you and my reality stops Time becomes frozen In one instant theres only two things Yourself and me You give me a speech On how you couldn't lose me On how if you could go back you would On how you actually love me I don't reply for once I don't speak at all but just stare You don't ask for a reply Yet you gloom As I walk to my car You look and run to me You start crying You say your afraid you'll never see me again I hang my head and reply Does the sun still rise in Texas? You say yes I smile and look at you Times change and so does life But the sun does not stop rising And I will still come back Inside you know it You smile and nod I leave your home You watch me all the way until the very end As I'm alone in my car I turn on the radio I hear I'll be I laugh and I smile THE END
