This was inspired by U2's song "with or without you" also by a book called "Useless".
Moon light shimmers and ghostly figures roam the streets
ladies in drag
men on their knees
'come home with me'
'get in the car'
'shut your mouth or you'll be sacred'
among the crowd of ladies in ripped tights, short skirts and red lips
I notice you.
beer in hand
smoking what seems some glass shape?
I know I'm too young to know
but you leave me every night home alone.
tonight I followed you to see what you've become
tonight I can save you but as I approach you start walking
running
sprinting
away from me?
what have I done wrong though?
you look back see me and pause
'Abby...'
your voice barely a whisper in the echoes of screams.
screams
fears
bombs of motions and fixed buildings
all I see is you then you scream my name running towards me
' believe me please'
your voice sorrowful
'I did this for you'
and at that moment the man that said 'or you'll be sacred'
aims and fires the bullet, blood soaks into my hand as my mother dies in my arms
' I wanted you to have a better life than mine im sorry..'
her words drifting off
then it hits me
she left for me and she died because of me
lost.
