5 seconds

One moment 

You are laughing

next

you are sent

in a frenzy

A frenzy 

of earthquakes

nature's

fury

5 seconds 

of silence

from life 

to nothing

Your last 5 seconds

before your life changes

You had a life

now you have none

You were talking to a friend

fury hits

When it's over

the other side is dead

for 5 seconds

screaming

you heard concrete 

falling

falling on her

crushing her

silencing her scream

sickening crunch

of the bones

you just listened

to

her death

you heard her scream

with her last breath

you picture her

dead

lips blue

you picture her

crushed under the concrete

arms at an awkward angle

shaking

scared

just in 5 seconds

life slipped up
