Let Me Live
I stumbled down the flight of stairs
Suspended in the air like a bird.
Then there was darkness.
I opened my eyes, face down,
My face wet with blood,
"You" hovered over me,
Ready to take me with you.
“I pray to God, let me live!” I shouted.
“I want to live! Lord have mercy!”
I kept shouting this over and over again
Desperately wanting to live
To be given another chance
Just when I felt your arm pulling me
Back into darkness,
I heard the loveliest voice a person could ever hear.
“Honey, are you alright?”
