An Accident (From 3 Perspectives)

Somebody lead me to a phone
My brother's fading fast
He slid halfway down the hill
His face is gray as ash
I've gotta call my mom

When I turned up on the scene
My knees fell week in a panic
Saw a dead man on his feet
Walking to the car, smiling
Saying everything is fine

I peeled off
Knowing of a hospital
On the way
Traffic blocking every lane
I was getting nowhere
Speeding now
90 down the shoulder lane
My boy is slipping away
I better get there fast
His lost life
I couldn't stand the thought

Somebody goddamn take him in
He's barely breathing now
In the balance I felt peace
And was sure it was the end
When I passed out
On the waiting room floor

You saved my life
And I have lived its fuller days
I don't know if I ever did thank you
Wholeheartedly for that
And for sitting up
Nights & nights
At my bedside awake
They had to urge you
To turn away
Home for a night to rest
I was fine
All through
I felt your love

A lifetime ago
When we were all healing
