Creative Writing #52

a thousand million miles from home
something killed me
shot me right through the eyes
sleeping on the train
you know you can't complain
that night you saved my life
all dreams are made by forgotten memories
and you make sure they're sometimes
memories and not dreams
I never say that I
won't ever make you cry
and if i could i don't know why
don't leave me
but i'll be back another day
still you took your love and walked away
is that how you saved my life?
