    Jerritt's Time of Death

    We went to the club at ten that night
    and some girl and I started to fight.
    We got kicked out and she got mad.
    She had her boyfriend shoot you.
    I cry so hard as I see you there.
    I wanted to kill her as he almost did you,
    but she just laughs and walks off.
    Now the ambulance is here to take you to heaven.
    I say over and over I'm sorry, but
    you just say "I love you."
    I say I love you too and please don't go.
    You say as long as I love you
    and never stop then you'll never die.
    I smile with a tear in my eye. We are there.
    You start convulsing and they start shocking you.
    I pray to the Lord not to take you
    and that I still need you and want you
    but still nothing. You get worse
    and the doctor tells me you have
    a slim to none chance of surviving
    By then, your mother shows up
    and I tell her I am so sorry
    and that if I didn't take you to that club
    and get in a fight with that girl
    then you wouldn't be here now.
    She just looks at me with stone eyes
    and I just collapse.
    I wake up to see you next to me and I smile
    and cry in happiness.
    You tell me that I was out for 2 days
    and all I could think of doing was to kiss you.
    It was like magic all over again
    You got out three weeks later
    and I thank the lord everyday for
    giving you a second chance at life.
    You tell me you love me and I tell you
    I love you too and please don't go.

    Did this really happen? If it did, that's nuts.

    Poetry is either something that lives like fire inside you or else it is nothing, an empty formalized bore around which pedants can endlessly drone their notes and explanations.
