Invisible Protection
From afar I watched you fall
Watched the crimson unfurl
Inch by inch, down your leg it crawled
I saw your world begin to swirl
Made a random stranger make the call
There when the ambulance lights began to whirl
Listening as emergency sirens sing
At the same time the IV went into your wrist
I felt the thorns pierce my down wing
Just know that by this you’d be sorely missed
Even if you can’t see a single thing
The breeze upon your cheek is an angel’s kiss
And you fell, you fell
You’re falling
Down, down
Stop
I caught you
