Saved

Barista

Saw me crying that night

Nothing to say 

I am not the first perhaps

 

 

A guy in the bus 

My screams on the phone

Nothing to say

I am not the first perhaps

 

 

How many have lived and died

With their agony normalized

Nothing to say

They aren't the first perhaps

 

 

You didn't repeat that agony

I was saved with whatever you had

Nothing to say

I am not the first you saved,

perhaps.
