The street Part 2 - Savior

Collapsed on the street
Snow piled high on me
Tears strolling down my cheek
I don’t bother to wipe them
Knowing I am alone
I sit and wait for death to finally catch up
No longer caring
I hear it coming and look up to face it
But death is not what stares back at me
It is you,
You kneel beside me
Brush off the snow
I look into your eyes
I see no hate, only love
I wonder why you are here
On this side of the street
The wrong side
You don’t say anything,
You just smile
Your smile breaks the ice caging my heart
I feel safe,
Like you wouldn’t hurt me
You raise me to my feet
Take my hand in yours
You lead me away from my pole
We walk down the street for a while
Unsure of who you are or why you helped me
We kept walking; you pulled me closer to you
You wrap an arm around my waist
And place your head on my shoulder
I have never felt love before
But I know this must be it
We keep walking
Night is turning to day
I know now that you were sent to me
Delivered to me
To be my savior
I look in your eyes and see that same sparkle
As when you first picked me up
I love you more than anything
I will never leave your side
For you are my savior
So I walk beside you
Down the wrong side of the street
Happy, at last

The Street

There he is!
Look now, the beast walks!

The pain they bring
Sadness forever consuming his heart
Walking along the familiar path
On the wrong side of the street
Staggering along
Alone
The snow piling up on his shoulders
Darkness setting in on his path
Stumbling along he keeps going
Though he can not fathom why
He shuffled to the nearest lamp post
And collapsed to the cold ground
Out of breath, out of energy
He simply can’t go on like this
He will wait for
The one
That will pick him up
And carry him to safety
