The Light
December 13, 2016
The light flickered
Off.
On.
The batteries were draining
Off.
On.
Red was illuminated
Like the button you should not touch
Off.
On.
Alone.
Except for her
Off.
On.
She looked
with terror
And a hint of betrayal
Off.
On.
Why did I throw
the rock
Off.
On.
Why didn't she
Dodge
Off.
On.
My hand outstretched
Off.
On.
She looked
but did not take
Off.
On.
She stood
without my help
Off.
On.
She walked.
She left.
Off.
