The Remorse Within

The night was going so well, the last bash before break. We
were all having fun, enjoying ourselves. Yes, even me(!). Drinking,
laughing, dancing... Yes Dancing(!). Back dat ass up. All that was
broken, when he laid his hands on you. I can repaly the
incident in my head, I do replay the incident in my head.
And, it always makes me sick. He wrapped his hand around your
throat, the throat of my friend, my confidant, someone I care
about. He wrapped worthless hand around you, threatned to
"take you out". Things were broken up before they got bad, you
escaped unharmed. Thank God. But It could of been worse. And I
still replay the incident in my head, over and over ganin. And
one thing never changes, I froze. I didn't try to help. Please
forgive me.
