The First Heartbreak

I try to begin but I can’t, My body won’t allow me to breath. I don’t understand what is happening, What is going on with me? Something is grabbing at me; Now I lay pinned to the floor. It feels like a dagger has ripped through, And I am now pierced to the core. I try to move my limbs, But the pain is too much to bare. Yet how do I just lay here dying, When I know the world is right out there? It would be so easy, Just to give up and give in to this. But I don’t truthfully know, What “this” even really is! I have never felt pain before, That has knocked me down so hard. And when I recover from this, Will I be mutilated from my scars? I can feel my heartbeat screaming, While wanting to give up the fight. That dagger just turns some more, While the darkness sets in tonight.
