When I Seen Blood
When I Seen Blood
Kiara Lebel
Bro
I yelled, BRO
Hold on we’re almost there
Breathe slow
Relax your eyes
Stay still
Pain
Don’t speak
Look into my eyes
I’m not leaving, they’re almost here
Strength
Grasp my hands
Stay close to my heart
I see the glistening in your eyes, don’t cry
Confusion
Lie back
Keep still
God won’t take you
Hesitation
And I remember you whisper “Bro I wouldn’t wanna do nothin like this with nobody else”
I seen a tear shed from you, and that’s when my chest tightened
Don’t say goodbyes, you’re gonna be okay
Lost
You’re breathing slower
You’re eyes are closing
And you’re not moving at all now
Horror
My heart is pounding, you taught me so much
Please don’t go
And the last thing you whispered was “You my lil bro, get out this life cause it ain’t for all of us.”
Dead.
Now you’re gone
I’m here with our memories, memories that are forever
When I seen blood, is when I became a soldier
Rest In Paradise, bro
