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?”
