She was getting there.
Just one more step,
To another staircase.
She could take two steps at a time,
She could get upstairs faster.
She could save his life.
She only had just a few seconds.
He was all she had.
The most beloved child she could ever ask for.
But it was burning down a too fast.
That was how houses were when they started burning.
She was running out of breathe,
With him on her mind, she would definitely get there...
Until the staircase gave way,
Sending her down with itself.
At the bottom of the last step,
As he screamed in agony,
She knew she'd failed,
She knew it was too late.
She knew that was the very end.
So she didn't attempt to move away,
When the ceiling gave away from above her too........
