What do you do
when you've just been told
that you saved a life?
What do you do when she tells you
that she almost took those pills,
but she thought of your face,
and put them down?
She looked me in the eyes,
and my face immediately crumbled.
The weight of the world came crashing down,
and tears came rushing out.
I sobbed and heaved,
and somehow I managed to stand up
and hold her as if -my- life depended on it.
I sunk to the floor
and we laughed at how stupid we looked,
sprawled on my kitchen floor, crying.
It didn't matter how stupid we looked,
did it?
I had just been told that I had,
unintentionally,
saved my whole world.
What would you have done?
