Thinking of You

I held onto you tight

And stayed close to you.

They pulled out their guns

As we slowly backed away.

Then one of them said,

“Wait, we want you to stay.”

I could feel my heart pounding,

I wanted to cry,

All I could think was

I don’t want to die.

What happened next,

I don’t even know.

It all happened so fast

But yet so slow.

The next thing I knew

You were lying at my feet.

They walked away laughing

And left you in the street.

I fell to my knees

And I held you close.

My tears dampened your hair

And your blood stained my clothes

I cried and cried

Hoping you’d come back to me,

But you just lied in my arms,

As lifeless as can be.

No one came

NO one even cared.

I screamed to God,

“Why couldn’t you have been spared?”

Now I’m getting to the end

Of my long sad poem.

I hope you’re happen

In your heavenly home

Always remember

Our love is true

And wherever you are

I’ll be thinking of you.
