Awakened by whispers from a friend On the other side of the earth. He perhaps forgot how time Lacks to treat us the same. He was bouncing from One classroom to the other, I was in my bed Sweat drenched in my dreams. I tried to muffle his scream But he yelled louder, Bloodshot eyes, I spoke, Careful not to wake my mother. I asked and asked if he was alright, I was afraid he was thinking up The actions I almost followed. I asked him again If he was fine, He replied with a "good morning", I said "goodnight". My head was thumping too hard I knew the morning would begin With my weekly dose of migraine. He called me back, I asked again if he was alright, It's 3 **** clock in the morning, I would sleep if he was fine. He acclaimed that I lied, "I was hurt so I was up Or else I would never have taken his call" He said. I sighed, He couldn't hear. I told I would be back in two hours, I wished he would rest Get his head straight. He acclaimed that I lied, I wasn't gonna sleep, I was traumatized, He asked again if I was fine, I replied "relatively". I wondered what I meant, He didn't ask to clarify, I declared I am going to sleep. I lied. I was up till past 4, My alarm set to 5, I would speak to him then I resolved, He could do with not killing himself For two hours I analysed. I slept for minutes 45 I called but he was gone. I tried to decipher my strange dreams. It was about the dogs Chasing me, The fear I always have. I try never to think of love, In my dream I had no way out, That was when he had called. I reminisce now Was he looking for me to save him, Or did he save me?

Saving
Awakened by whispers from a friend On the other side of the earth. He perhaps forgot how time Lacks to treat us the same.

We all need our saviors Even while we try to save others.
