4 I was there: I knew
Finding the bodies
Gray, torn, lifeless
Stiff, can't be saved
Despair, bleak despair
I can't save them
Couldn't save them
Not fast enough
Not good enough
Why?
I was trying: I don't know
How long was it
How hard was it
Grasping lives in a hand
That shook; lives that
Slipped away
No matter how hard I tried
They went further
Than I could reach
Why?
I was then: I knew
Fumbling with somebody's
Severed hand, leg, wrist
Gore, blood, ichor
Splattered over me
There is no escape
There was no escape
Am I crying?
Did I know them?
Why…?
