Four Words

Nancie    Norton
Moving,
Through the halls with ease.
Doors and walls, no barrier here,
Calling,
They can't hear me.
They don't know I'm here.
I see their faces...
Walking,
By their side,
Need their presence,
Their energy........to survive.
I see her shiver,
Almost as if,
A cool breeze, touched her skin.
They don't know I'm here.
I roam the halls, at will
Searching,
Searching for answers.
No understanding here.
Reason.... I need a reason,
An explanation,
An answer!
Is this real? It can't be!
I cry out, " PLEASE HEAR ME! "
They can't hear me.
They don't know I'm here.
Too young, can't give up,
I need a second chance!
A second chance....
To live... to love,
To be,
Hold on....Hold on to,
Every minute, every second
A light....So very bright!
Electric shock!
Pain...A pain like no other,
Struggling, to breath,
Voices...distant, at first,
Then closer,
No understanding here.
The light... is gone.
They don't know I'm here,
Watching, Feeling,
Hearing,
Four words,

" W e've Got A Heartbeat ! "
