I stop at the top of the stairs and look down,
Nights coming but i see perfectly with ease,
My heart flutters and mouth waters as i loose all sound.
And I'm forced to jump just as soon as i hear the jingle of keys.
I land with a crash as the cracks shoot through my spine,
I loose control of my planned silence and scream,
A stranger comes to my side at once as i screech a sign.
While i loose my breath and my blood forms a beautiful stream.
Down the sidewalk to the road full of anger,
A pathway of hate, yellow lined and Godly,
Leading to thousands of wrong destinations but to my side a stranger.
And beside this stranger i lay just as oddly.
Invisible barriers between lives never crossed,
But beside me theres freely given compassion,
I cant believe my eyes not even when glossed.
A horrible world with lovely watching innocence glassed in.
The sirens are down the road coming in my direction,
Yet i really wish never to mess up the moment in place,
The ambulance closer, i see it and close my eyes as if to detour detection.
And as i hear my savior blare by, a smile catches upon my face.
I use my last bit of strength to pull the woman in my grips,
Am i finally holding an angel as i hold my last breath,
And i intake life with the touch of our lips.
And i die just as soon as the oxygen leaves my chest.

This is such a sad yet beautiful story. I am loving the feeling of teh kindness of strangers as small as just being there and caaring...how much light it shines amidst all the pain and suffering. Taking the story at face value is enough to make this piece relatable and well written. But when I read it I see so many underlying ways to take it and ways to read into the story deeper and I think it makes it that much more intense. I think this piece coudl be used for a highschool english class to disect
