Far Enough
November 7, 2014
the sun
is shining,
and
my favorite song
is playing.
"Lily!"
screams echo in my head.
Lily, Lily, Lily
My feet are glued
to the pavement
but I lift
them anyway.
Suddenly,
everything breaks
my head, my skull is splitting.
my world is spinning
black car
black tires
everything is black
but all I can think
is Lily-
where is she,
is she here,
lying on the street
with me?
I think of her,
hope I pushed her
hard enough
far enough.
I hope I saved her.
