In a flash (by Cara)

Lashes fall and rise

Blurred light and noise

Confusion sets in

Pain searing through

Forced air struggling to move

Gasping

Glistening glass

Warm red pulsating out

Where am I?

I can't think

I can't feel

I can't speak

The truth is real

Reality is painful

Hurt running deeper than it's seen

Spinning out of control

Darkness comes back

Flooding inside my head

Beckoning me to stay

Asleep a little longer

Where I don't feel

Inhaling

Feeling this intense

Painful desperation

Of forced change

Emotional bliss has faded

And turned to ice

Burning flames quenched

But not inside

For within

Memories exist

Only good can stay

All the words

The faces of sadness

Have gone away

Across infinity

For you are here

Within me

I can only move on

Scared but girded up

With strength and dignity

Asking for wings

Taking flight

To be alone

Praying for wind

Under your wings

To carry you 

As you dream away

Desiring perfection

Shutting out the pain

You feel

Catching your rainbow

As I let go

Close my eyes

You're gone

In a flash

Can't comprehend

But I need only this...

Trust

For He has promised

Only good will come

Blink

Just once

Enjoy this moment

The breath you breathe in

Now

Every second

You feel

You live

Dream

But know

Life is not a game

Turning and hurling

You control

Just one thing:

Who you allow inside

To share your soul

And in an instant

Time freezes

In a flash

Gone

You will be 

Who you chose to be

Forever
