Irreversible

I felt the sun shine on my face Then a shadow stood in silence Look to see a handsome stranger Weeping I feel compassion Unsure of what to say or do Simply just ignore him Then a shot rings out, I look to see My lap, his lifeless body People came from all around To view this lifeless creature Me, I tried to remove myself His blood had stained my body “Oh my God” I cried aloud “Will someone here please help me?” Passerby just walked away Free from shame and sorrow Finally free of this lifeless man My thoughts were in that moment I saw him there alone and scared Crying I did do nothing Would one kind word A simple prayer Change this final outcome Supposing now it is too late Damage irreversible
