Lifeless

The ER is a very chaotic place sometimes, Happy people trying to save lives, Good mornings escape into late evenings, & No one will ever know when their time comes…. They called my phone said some blood was spilled, Trauma room, a spirit gone away… The puddle of blood was immense, I’m sure she lost gallons, Her eyes slightly open, will an absent sound of IV machines, as I stare at this lifeless human being, I begin to think back to my family. There is nothing more traumatizing than witnessing a young teenage girl, Discover the news of her mother, that has passed. Even tears couldn’t show my sympathy. Her hand had lost its grasp, Blood dripping as I struggle between human emotion and professionalism, NEVER WILL I EVER FORGET THIS DAY August 27, 2012 Rest In Peace to a stranger that I will never know. Much love to the family that will miss her dearly
