Guilted Inhibition

For an instance we did share a glance

I was there and I had a chance

I could have saved a life yesterday

If I had not chosen to part my way

For the rules that are knowingly unknown

He left few lives all on their own

I could have saved a life yesterday

If I had called out aloud a hey

For the mournful misery that he left behind

Following the path to a petition unsigned

I could have saved a life yesterday

If it wasn't for a split delay

For closing my eyes was a decision unwise

He was taking a risk which lead to his demise

Filled with this guilt I never had to stay

If I would have saved a life yesterday

Seeing people with the risks they take

That puts their health or life at stake

Put up a question right away

To help them live another day

Perceiving a danger and walking away

Is a hedious act in its own way

With this, I hope you never have to say

I could have saved a life yesterday.
