Heart Attack

The world stopped spinning
That phone call was just the beginning
My heart stuttered and skipped
Over my own feet I nearly tripped

In the hospital, barely breathing
My little brother lay, as if he were just sleeping
And I was too far away
The though of losing him caused my nerves to fray

The world came crashing down
I felt as if I would surely drown
Panic quickly set in
I wasn't there like I should have been

All I could do was wait for the next call
Sit, and do nothing at all
Try to hold myself together
And hope that this tie will never sever

Minutes turned to dust
As dawn faded into dusk
Why won't they call? Did something go wrong?
How much longer could I stay strong?

Beside me the phone began to ring
Hope once again began to sing
He was alive, though bruised and tired
And I cried, so happy to hear he hadn't expired
