One Punch Can Kill

On that special night
Where I had my first fight
Boom!
First it was a joke
Then he fell down
Straight to the ground.
I gave him a poke
But he never woke.
That awful night
Gave me such a fright.
I rang triple o
The ambulance came
It was time for him to go
I still had that pain
Its never gone away
Then when I had finished my cries
I got a phone came saying he was fine
My heart rose beating with joy
To know I didn’t kill that boy
