Given
The bad side of town
Shouldn’t have gone
Giving things away
Not theirs to take
Something so precious
You hold onto tight
Once it leaves
There’s no more fight
Standing still
Lost in fright
A pain erupted
Not a clue
On the ground
Shots fired
No more pain
Just another body
Lay next to me
Not another breath
Could never be repaid
One for another
A gift
No gift recipient
No way to change
The new reality
