Description Night lit
by flashing blue lights
This floodlit nightmare
This shadowed horror

That 3 second silence
Then the screams
that still echo
late at night.

The look
in the eyes
of a woman dying
as I hold her hands

A friend just found
now forever lost
And the look
in her childrens eyes...

Clenched fists reaching
and being held back
And in turn
holding back others

Pain etched mind
Fumbling for contacts
in the surreal calm
of a racing ambulance

Frantic pacing
Alone
With the cold of shock
Desperate for something

Exhausted snatches
in between waking
And seeing her
And hearing her...

He's standing here
Arrogant and cool
Seeing his hands
The hands that killed her

A mothers life
counted as nothing
Watching him walk
just rapped knuckles

... AND THIS IS FUCKING JUSTICE?

i was there that night. its the most surreal night of my life in a way. i was also a first aider, but all i dealt with were the people left in shock, along with those left behind when the ambulances were gone. i knew only two people there, they didnt think to involve me. we had had no idea. no one told us. no one said a thing. i wish i'd known sooner, maybe been able to help more. understood the full extent of what had happened... then theres no way i would have let them carry on after!!!!
it was the night i met ben....... that night changed my life.
i'm sorry

You can't realise the full aftermath of something like that for sometime... esp if you'd been in the middle of it.

It still makes me shake with anger and pain when I can't stop thinking about it.

I don't know what to say, really. It is nicely done, and I really feel for you. I've never been through such an event, so I can't imagine how bad it must have been.

Imagine a surreal nightmare, full of screams... you're about half way there.

Thanks for the empathy and comment my friend.

Thank you darling... it was a rough night.
Started remembering and thinking about it again in last couple of weeks, not helped by my slipping into depression again, but at least its a different sort this time round. Think I gonna be doing more writing soon... oh crap.
