All Along

Sirens were calling him by the end of the night 

I wanted him to leave by the end of tonight 

 

He continued to strike me 

I finally took a bite 

 

He realized what he had done 

He was in a fright 

 

Dashed out of the door just like that 

I was able to finally stand upright 

 

The cops finally came 

I said weakly “I’m alright.”
