I watched as she collapsed Her ****** expression, the sadness in those eyes the tears that just poured and ran like a waterfall down her cheeks How she yelled out for her mother that was no longer living on earth, but in our hearts. "Take me instead!" My heart crashed. I turned around, not being able to take the words I just heard or what I just saw. I walked away, I could feel several eyes watching me as the tears continued to pour down my cheeks and soak my shirt. Inside I was screaming, "Take me instead!"

Take Me Instead
