Should we ignore the hurting and carry on with our day's?
Walk Away

Her eyes lock with mine
We stand still, stop the time
Her clothes are ragged and torn
Skin blistered and worn
Hands tied up in chains
Eyes filled with a lifetime of pain
Grey, once blue was the sky
Gone as she kissed her life goodbye

And they tell me to walk away
Leave her there and carry on my day
But how can I go on with my guilt
With my conscience that I have built
But shall I go her way
Not for a visit but to stay
Or should I do as they tell me
And ignore her silent plea

I won’t allow it to go on any longer
Decision made, I don’t feel stronger
But I step from my blue into her grey
My mind made, I won’t walk away
