Savin' Me
She looked at me and smiles. I don't know why she smiled, considering our gang was surrounded by another gang with more people.
Prison gates won't open up for me.
On these hands and knees I'm crawlin'
Oh, I reach for you.
I felt powerful arms close around my middle and lift me up. The smile disappeared from her face. She ran forward, but one of the other guys stepped in front of her and punched her.
"Anika!" I tried to fight to get away, but he only held tighter.
"Oh, no little missy," he breathed in my ear, "you're for our after party." He then threw me in a room and shut the. I was at that door in an instant, trying to break out.
Well I'm terrified of these four walls.
These iron bars can't hold my soul in.
All I need is you.
Come please I'm callin'
And, oh, I scream for you.
Hurry I'm fallin'
I heard gun shots and shouts, then silence. I finally broke out. Stumbling onto the scene I found everyone dead.
Show me what its like,
To be the last one standing.
She coughed a bit, and I was by her in a second. She smiled at me.
"I'm sorry Kilynn." She coughed again. I hugged her.
"It's ok. Stay alive for a bit longer, I'll get help!"
"I'm sorry…" She then died in my arms. I cried.
And teach me wrong from right.
And I'll show you what I can be.
Say it for me,
Say it to me.
And I'll leave this life behind me.
Say it if it's worth saving me…
An hour later I called from a phone booth, and I left.
Heaven's gates won't open up for me.
With these broken wings I'm fallin'
And all I see is you.
I walked to one of the old, broken buildings and climbed the stairs to the roof. The wind was blowing, it was raining. I stood at the edge.
These city walls ain't got no love for me.
I'm on the edge of the eighteenth story.
And oh I scream for you.
I was staring out at the city. Someone came behind me. I turned to them.
Come please I'm callin'
And all I need is you.
Hurry I'm fallin'
They pushed me, and laughed as I fell over the edge. I closed my eyes. This couldn't be happening. Suddenly I remembered. Everything. From when I was a young child to now. Anika and mine's first date. On the same place I was now falling from. Her smile…
And all I need is you.
Come please I'm callin'
And, oh I reach for you.
Hurry I'm fallin' (I'm fallin' I'm fallin')
Arms wrapped around me and pulled me up before I hit the ground.
Show me what its like
To be the last one standing.
And teach me wrong from right,
And I'll show you what I can be.
Say it for me
Say it to me.
And I'll leave this life behind me.
Say it if it's worth saving me.
I opened my eyes and looked up. She looked back down at me and smiled. Her smile…Large angel wings pulled us through the air. We landed. Far from the city, passed the old graveyard, at the big tree where we first met. She lent down and whispered in my ear.
"I love you, Kilynn." She hugged me.
Hurry I'm fallin'
Say it for me.
Say it to me.
And I'll leave this life behind me.
Say it if it's worth saving me…
She the kissed me. I kissed back, never wanting it to end.
My eyes opened, and I sat up. Looking over to the calendar. This day was the five year anniversary of her death…
