keep holding on

bystander

Leaving me to die alone

splayed on the concrete without a glance does one

walk by. The cracks in the railroad offer me no advice

The pebbles beside my head lie still.

Blood trickles down my arms

and no one comes to help me from him

no one stirs. I don't deserve this

The pebbles beside my head vibrate.

I call one last time. "Help

Someone please come he's hurting me,

I'm dying." but no one moves.

The pebbles beside my head stir.

A last plead goes unheard

I hate them now, I hate them

it's over. My last breath-

The pebbles beside my head still.
