My Angel...

It was a cool night,
Not too cold, not too hot.
I was walking back home,
When suddenly I heard
A girl scream.

When I turned around,
I saw a man,
Standing over a young girl.

They weren't very far away,
maybe a few hundred feet.
As I tried to call 911,
He noticed me.

It all happened so fast,
It's hard to remember
What had happened.

He came toward me,
Holding something out in his hand.
I didn't have time to think,
He had knocked me down too fast.

And then I realized
What he had been holding out towards me;
It was a knife.
And now that knife was being forced into my chest,
Fast and hard.

Then, Just as soon as it had begun,
It ended.
I was left there,
Lying on the ground, fighting hard to keep breathing,
But the pain was unimaginable.

But just when things started to go black,
I saw her face.
The girl that the man had been rapping,
Was standing over me.

She helped me,
Called the police for me,
But never mentioned her rapping.

Just as I was being loaded into the ambulance,
I turned to her an said,
In a voice so soft you could barely hear,

"What is your name?"
And she answered,
"Angel, my name is Angel."
