murder in the city

I did not keep my life that night, 

Hiding away from prying eye, 

Though I did try with all my might. 

 Even though I was cowering in fright, 

 It was not out of grief that I did cry. 

 I did not keep my life that night. 

 I felt like I was a string-less kite, 

 Despite not getting quite as high; 

 Though I did try with all my might. 

 I ascended into the mightiest of light. 

 I felt free as I soared through the sky. 

 I did not keep my life that night. 

 My physical form suffered quite a plight. 

 My inhales shook with my end nigh, 

 Though I did try with all my might. 

 On my exhale, I relented, I stopped my fight. 

 My heart stopped beating, my blood ran dry. 

 I did not keep my life that night, 

 Though I did try with all my might.
