He stole a peice of myself
And now I hear him scream
He's there, it's him I know
I can't forget his voice
There is no way
I've been hearing it everywhere
But this time it's really him
He needs help, should I help?
Can't someone else do it?
I think he deserves to burn in hell
And if I just leave him there
That's how it will end for him
He'll be burning then off to hell
But maybe I should just help him
Doing nothing just isn't humane....
But neither was what he did
Suddenly it's cold again and
Once again I'm reliving it all
I can feel the wind slicing my skin
Walking home and I'm alone
Someone aproaches me
He's slender and tall
My step quickens, until I'm running
And I hear him running right behind
Suddenly I'm down, pinned to the ground
Stuck with no place to go
Nobody heard me when I screamed
He stole away what should have been
Something that was most precious
And I can't look at myself the same way
Because in the reflection in my eyes
All I can see is his face
Snapped back to reality alone
Everyone bustling about me
I don't hear him screaming anymore
But I can smell the smoke
I turn to the building, now ashes
I ask a firefighter if there were any survivors
And he said there weren't, asked if I knew
Anyone who lived in the building
And I shook my head smiling
Not wanting to change a thing

I'd like to thank you for doing one of my specific options that I gave you. Also thank you very much for your opinion on this topic as I am very interested on peoples outlook on what they'd do... There is no right or wrong answer, moreover what it feels like to the person who had to go through it and of course depending on how viscious the attack was and many other factors. Wonderfully written though, well reconstructed *if it was from your imagination even better construction*.
