Bang
That was it bang
He had hoped for something more.
But no, just bang well not just bang.
Hot searing pain
Screaming
Hard ground
Rain
But nothing that he had expected
What happened to a hero's amazing showdown?
The searing pain was back with anguished cries for some kind on response
He was beyond that
He was standing in front of amazing white light
He felt torn
Life flashed in front of him
Should he turn away?
Should he brave the pain, the rescue, the recovery, the worry?
Was the lack of love, care and want worth it?
Or was floating and warmth and oblivion better
He stood between the middle
Crying filled his senses
Pain was back, the light was fading
He tried to reach out and pull it back
He could feel pressure holding his hand
He wasn't ready to embrace reality just yet
But it was clear that he was loved more then he knew.
