The smoked cleared
    And the ambulances still sailed. 
A ghost drew near.
    If not, why was she so pale? 
Conversations carried us through the night
Which teased her potential second death.
Distance fended off immediate feelings of plight
Although I smelt it lingering on my breath. 

She left me speechless
    But paramedics never came. 
They never came for me
    And my world was never the same. 

If I put my shoes to use
Then maybe I could’ve saved our souls.
My heart, yearning for abuse,
Ate through my $100 soles.
