I Will Find You

--> -->

It happened suddenly

But we all knew it

We fled

Racing towards closing doors

Trying to escape

I pushed through the crowds

I knew it was my time

But this was not where I wanted to die

A hand took hold of mine

A strong hand

Helping others reach freedom

I turned

Looked into his eyes

Beautiful eyes

Full of love

Full of pain

“Go. I will find you,” he promised

I was torn

I didn’t want to go

But I knew I had to

I fled out into the streets

People crying

Seeking refuge

I waited

I hoped

I prayed

But he never came.
