The Murder

One jumping Saturday night
Murder was committed
I couldn't say bye to my loved ones
And no time for repentance

I was talking, then it got darker
And my thoughts were blurry
I felt like I couldn't move
But needed to get out in a hurry

I felt so faint
And something inside me burned
The past caught up with me again
Guess it's what I deserved

I was in this situation once before
But so much trauma I couldn't recover
Now it's lights out, always dark
My casket is getting covered

Goodbye ladies and gentlemen
For so long I stayed on the run 
Loving and Caring shot me
Now my heart is done.
