Expect the Unexpected

July 20, 2013

Family and friends scream his name in horror

Shaking him to the tips of his feeble bones

Get up! Get up! Get up! Get up! They would yell

With the world swirling around nonstop

And with his perception besmeared to the max

He quietly listened to his fast heartbeat

Hoping to grasp upon every last breath

Wishing to turn back time and start all over
