Watch Me Fade

By Assita L

You watch, YOU WATCH me fade away, You stand, YOU STAND there while I decay, You point, YOU POINT your gun at me, You look around, YOU LOOK AROUND to see my life go free.

I did nothing wrong, NOTHING WRONG to you, You don’t know the pain, KNOW THE PAIN, That you put me through, The wound runs deep, RUNS DEEP, All across my body it traveled, The blood starts to trickle, STARTS TO TRICKLE, Until touching the grounds gravel.

Lying on the ground, I gasp for air, GRASP FOR AIR,

Thinking

will this be the last bit of oxygen I share, OXYGEN I SHARE, I see a brilliant bright light, a warm light, filled with hope, FILLED WITH HOPE, Dreams once I could touch, now I need a telescope, NEED A TELESCOPE.

You WATCHED, YOU WATCHED me fade away, You STOOD, YOU STOOD there while I decay, You POINTED, YOU POINTED your gun at me, You LOOKED AROUND, YOU LOOKED AROUND

To see my life go free.
