Blood Stains Before You Bleed
by Amanda L MarronEchoes of her screams haunt me still
I couldn't save her
My eyes water as I revisit the memory
I held her hands to my face
Promised it would be all right
An inferno blazed around us
How could I dare to hope for such things?
The heat kept intensifying, worse than a desert summer's day
I felt the rescue worker grab me from behind
I tried to tell him that she was there
She needed his help too
I fought
Kicked and screamed
As he dragged me away
I lost my grip on her
And the blazing fire claimed her soul 11/03/2008 Author's Note: Nov 1st, The Hook
