Me, the Bullet
You said you dodged a bullet.
If I was the bullet,
Then I shot myself.
And barely grazed you.
If I was the bullet
Then I killed myself.
And left you with a scar.
Alternatively,
If I am the bullet,
Then I shot myself.
And you got hurt trying
To intercept pain that was not
Yours to take.
