Too Afraid

I saw a young girl, seventeen or eighteen
So so high, stumbling, with a guy that
She orbited about, older, not wasted
In a horrible part of town.

He had taken over her life.
I imagined prostitution and
Heroin and OH SUCH TRAGEDY
But I made a terrible mistake

I didn't intervene
I did not intervene.
I was too afraid.
