A child I would save

From it's father's cave

Dark and blue and lighting through

Red and dead is what became

Time move on and on and on

Life slows down despite right and wrong

Knock on the door's what time will bore

Open the light where comes my fright

Walk through the room bathed in blue

Couch here and there though calm beware

Time forgotten though child not yet

Enter kitten though soon submitten

One I've known despite what's shown

Behind my eyes dreams I despise

Crazy, lazy, though strong, setting hazy

Soon to save in call through maze

911 may never come

Reaches us before we can run

Shutting the door I may save one more

Stuck without bore he gets there before

I see it in my eyes deception in hope's disguise

A man with a knife running as I try to thrive

A child to save mild in a cave

Now silent I couldn't save

A child in his grave

A kitten I try to leave

But dreams they do deceive

Also silent I can't believe

Two bodies with which I must leave

Tears are to fall as I crawl

Two which I fail to save through it all

Holding one as once it had lived

The knife comes near and as goes the saying

"For the pain," under my ribs

Sensation spreads sharp and I spin

It hurts but all I think is I can't breath

Now awake in bed, so I'm up early

Walk around silent, through the day

I can't help but think, would I have ever truly escaped

Or was death the only way?
