When the smoke clears
I hear the screams
Look around but nothing is clear
Confusions the only thing I see
I hear familiar voices
The faces are strange to me
I don’t recognize them
Even though I feel connected to them
Now I noticed the bodies around me
Some are getting up
Some are following me
Do they want to hurt me
The voices are getting clearer
The face are too
I know these people
Or knew them
They are dead, their faces lifeless
Yet their voices strong
Do I run
What do they want
The crowd is getting larger
The faces more familiar
I knew these people
The were my neighbors, friends and family
What happened to them
I feel a tug
It’s death
She pulling me away from the dead
Dragging me towards life
Then I wake up
The same dream over and over
Why is death trying to save me
