The siren screaming in the middle of the night.

A J C 1958 (Swansea, MA)



The screaming of the sirens in the middle of the night.

I don't want to hear the siren screaming in the middle of the night or the blue lights blinking on the window pane. All I know is that I'm in a lot of pain. I can't even tell you what my name is. All I can feel is your ivory skin on mine. And I can see the tears in your pretty blue eyes. All I understand is that it's my time to die. I won't have any more tomorrows, and all I feel is sorrow. But I will take those few minutes I have left to look into your eyes and give you one last kiss. I will miss you, but I will never forget you. Till the stars fall from the sky. You will always be mine. Till the end of time.

About this poem

This is a true story I've been there a hundred times. I hate them sirens and blue lights.
