Poem -

bang bang we're dead

I do not know why they were all
killed
Or with what sin they must have
been filled
I do not remember holding the
gun
Or how fast or which way that I
tried to run

I do not remember looking back
Or planning it out or wanting them
gone
I only recall that I could not be
helped
That they had no power, no power
at all

I only remember the crying for
one
I only remember the dying for
one
But he was not them and they
were not him
Maybe that's why they died, maybe
that was their sin

Hi Zaynab...I believe interpretation is mostly down to the reader and thanks so much for taking the time by the way. To clarify though I wrote it about retreat, maybe situations or mental health problems that cause a person to socially isolate and banish a previous life to the dustbin. I will definitely take a look at your newest x
