Left To Die

Running through the forest i can hear your footsteps my heart thudding so fast about ready to burst my legs are hurting and my lungs are dry but if i stop now i know i'm going to die slower and slower until i fall, "Dear God, NO!" i scream as you stab me with a knife a weird pressure is near my waist i cry and i cry tears running down my bloody face. you smirk and you laugh you enjoy my anguish and pain you finally finish and leave me to die my eyes slowly close, i know i'm giving up my heart slows down my hearing stops i go numb i feel like i'm falling i slowly died my last thought: "my eighteenth birthday and I'll be floating towards the sky." they found me a few days later my mother heartbroken, my father in pain the funeral seemed long, the tears endless i had died before my parents i had to watch them be in pain soon after, my killer, had killed them too people in the world were meant to love each other, i thought not kill one another to this day i'm supposed to be twenty-four but thanks to my teacher, I'll never know my future
