Life comes in snippets.
"Stay with me, Sadie, stay with me-"
Snippets where words are exchanged, a disaster strikes…
"She's arresting, get a crash cart in here!"
And suddenly you realize all you are is a shell.
"Sadie, Sadie please, please no…"
A shell of something that was once so much more.
"She's flat-lining charge to 200!"
And you want – more than anything – to give in.
"Its not working!"
But when you pull yourself out of it
"Charge to 300!"
When you make the decision to grit your teeth and get up…
"It's no use she's been gone to long!"
And start the healing processes,
I said charge to 300!
It's then that something happens.
Sadie!
Life comes in snippets.
The good
The ugly
And the what comes after.
The first two we can't control,
But the last one…
"She's alive!"
That one you can.
