You shot into my heart
You broke it apart
It cannot be fixed
I’m bleeding
Red blood like a red rose
Pouring out of me
Like water rushing from a waterfall

I feel cold like Antarctica
My body is becoming stiff
I cannot move
It’s like I’m in a straightjacket

I cannot feel anything
Like my whole body is numb
When will all this end?
My eyes are going black
Like the night sky

Am I dying?
Am I already dead?

I cannot speak
My mouth will not move
My voice
It’s gone
I cannot talk

I see a bright light
I know I am dead

The bullet
Shot through my heart
And killed me

The author's comments:
I fell in love with a boy. I trusted him. He broke my heart. It felt like I got shot and died. So I wrote this so he knows what he did to me, and how it felt when he did it. He left me for my friend. I was hurt but I am thankful for her because she turned him down.
