I Am A Fireman

Someone Lost Their Life Today!

Alarms screaming.
Birds singing.
But his heart was bleeding.
I held him as he died.
CPR couldn't revive.
How could I save what God wanted taken
away.
Is this how God repays ?
Maybe if I was a minute earlier.
If I didn't take that extra time getting out
the drive.
I would of been able to save this young mans
life.
It haunts me each night.
Pictures of him in the last moments of his
life.
I was pulled away by my fellow brothers in
arms.
Brothers with Fire Fighter emblems on
there helms.
Tears roll down my face.
You did your best is what they all seem to say.
My mind screams back to them,
this was someones son, boyfriend, brother
How could I let this happen.
I look in the mirror when all these questions
race in my brain.
mocking me, judging me, pointing, laughing,
calling me names.

Someone Lost Their Life Today!
And part of me died as well.
