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.
