Blackout


The metallic taste spreading in the mouth 

Left with a deep gash, spewing scarlet 

Whispering silently, as wickedness crosses the face 

No one was coming 

Body against the bricked wall of the alley 

Heart beating frantically for life 

Breath quickened for survival 

The bright red staining the concrete 

The unprecedented stimulating the adrenaline surge 

A faint chuckle escapes the throat 

Vindictive in the mind with a message 

Not done yet, revive
