Description
Something awoke.

A sleeping purpose that found its grip on me.
Does it belong here?

So clearly his words were poisoned,
But am I meant to let the poisoned man die?
I do not want to sit on the sidelines as I watch someone suffer.
I cannot say it is someone else's job when it makes my heart ache so badly.
The anger I should have is not here.
Just mercy.

One more chance.
Is that so wrong to give?
I know no one will understand.
I do not expect anyone to.
But I can't leave this unfinished.
I can't leave him to suffer.

Am I supposed to move?
Or must I leave him behind,
In the dirt and debris, already deformed and sick,
Is his life worth saving?
Can I truly believe that someone else would come along and save him?
Can I see such horrific sights and not even slow my steps.

And if I should forget him,
Is it wrong to have a longing?
To wish I was able to save him?
Or am I foolish?
It is wrong to pity a habitual thief?
Is it wrong to wish him renewal?
Even if it meant he would steal everything I own.
Just to save him?

Am I fool?
To know the antidote.
To have the power.
But to not look back?
