Sacrifice

Something is wrong The eerie silence sends shivers up my spine I smell danger But I am fearless Out of the corner of my eye I see them We need to act fast I tell you to run And don’t stop I run for my life I realize you’re no longer with me I turn back Determined to fight for you I run as silently as I can Adrenalin pumping through my veins I see you lying there unconscious and bleeding My eyes burn with anger I take my chance I need to save you I try to fight them off around you I pick you up and run The weight of your body in my arms is exhausting My body is weak but I don’t stop running Gun shots are fired in the background I drop to my knees wounded I must get you to safety I drag you and hide you as best I can I try to run away, more shots are fired I collapse with agonizing pain, everything is a blur In my final moments I hear sirens, running footsteps Now I know you are safe I drift into a deep sleep Never to wake up again
