Bleeding on the sidewalk

His cold helpless body
moved slightly on his side
hoping for someone to find him
calling for help, but no noise escapes

in an alley, far from survival
blood pouring from his gut
crying tears of pain and desperation
praying for someone to save him

a Shadow appears in the pitch darkness
coming closer to where he lay
trying to call out, he stumbles again

not knowing whats to happen
or if he should die
at such a young age
his life was only beginning

the Shadow was gone
and his pain suddenly disappeared
what had happened?, was this all real?
was it just a dream?, or a figure of his imagination?
yes
