Literature Text

You were a beacon of light that beckoned from the shadow of an empty street on a dark night where only the homeless, the lost and the dead roam. You with your wrinkled paper bag  in hand, full of old dreams you said you saved from childhood. They were escaping quickly, faster than a heartbeat, as fast as when you ran away from home. And then you said you killed a man. Left his body on the wet cement and stuffed his dreams in that bag, too. Is this the same boy I knew? Permanently seal up that bag or maybe leave it on the same wet cement where you killed him as you go. Keep on walking then go out of sight, find shelter in the darkest alley in the corner of the world until the secret gets out and you are captured. Or you could stay away, take care and shut off your light so someday, gently, while you sleep you can return to a dream you once held onto.
I'm probably going to change this
