Saved

I gripped the cold metal railing in one hand. I hoisted my left leg over, then my right. Now i'm standing on the wrong side of the bridge. A chill wind rushes by me leaving me to shiver. I don't plan on saying goodbye, because they don't deserve it. I didn't write a 'fuck you' letter either, because i know what it's like to go through pain. Nobody should ever have to go though that.

All i see is darkness --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I got into another fucking bar fight mom's gonna kill me. The wind rushes past me so i go to pull my jacket tighter around me. I wince when my bloodied up hand touches the cold metal of the zipper. I'm almost half way there by the bridge when i see a shadowy figure on the side of the bridge. I try to look closer so i can figure out what it is. Shit..... It's a person. I run over to the bank just as soon as they jump. I dive in. Damn the water feels like needles everywhere. I pop out of the top and spot the person under. I dive down and drag them out through the ice cold water. I pull us up to shore and look at the person for the first time under the little light the street light provides
