Blood

POW POW POW 

Screams from a voice 

This voice sounds innocent 

This voice sound fragile



A shot from a shadow 

Which you can't seem to make 
out

How the blood rush from her 
back to her leg



As she tries to run 

The she hears another sound 
from the gun 

Just in a nick of time she drops 
to the ground 

The laughter of the killer gets 
louder and louder



She wants to believe its a 
dream but the pain from her 
back began to sink

She slowly tries to breathe and 
capture a picture in her mind 
from this creep



As she opens her eyes she sees 
the man she loved was her killer 
he was going to be the death of 
her



I realize that girl with blood 
dripping from her back is me
