baby if I was held
at gunpoint 
in front of you
held captive and you were given a choice
to run or save me

what would you choose?
would you be able to withstand
hearing me
begging you to be the hero
of the story 

would you run?

like a self-preserving coward 

because if you did
I'd be hoping the guilt
won't kill you
and I would haunt you
for the rest of your days 
lingering in your subconscious
until you went insane
