Wander

I opened my eyes, 

Desperately searching for him. 

The darkness was overwhelming, 

I tried to move but I was pinned. 

The deafening silence crept up, 

The cold wind breezed by my ear. 

I reached my hand out into the night, 

Temporarily forgetting how I got here. 

The pain was sudden,

It came out of no where. 

I began to scream in agony, 

And suddenly he was there. 

He reached for my hand, 

Giving it a gentle squeeze. 

I told him I was scared and I 

Couldn't feel my legs below my knees. 

He brushed a stray hair 

From my bloody face. 

He told me to close my eyes, 

And he'd get me out of that place. 

I squeezed my eyes closed 

As tightly as I possibly could. 

Within seconds I was out, 

No longer pinned beneath the crushed dash and hood. 

As he held me tightly, 

The pain begin to cease. 

All the feeling returned

To my legs and knees. 

I looked over his shoulder 

As we walked off into the night.

And what I saw behind us, 

Filled me with deathly fright. 

I saw us, him and I, in the car. 

Our dead bodies trapped inside. 

I never knew that it 

Would be our final ride. 

He carried me in his arms, 

Keeping me close. 

No longer were we alive. 

We would wander as ghosts.
