Words Hurt

It pierced my chest,
I felt it in my spine.
I’m short of breath,
Well I guess I don’t have much time
I gasp for air 
And scream “it isn’t fair”
I don’t really expect anyone to care.
It should have been quick 
But instead it’s slow and sticks,
The ringing In my ear
Every single fear
Back to haunt me 
That’s what they do
I should have known my biggest fear was you.
I gave you the gun, primed and ready 
I hoped you’d keep the safety on and hold it steady
I watched you take aim and fire 
And every shot is like a witches pyre 
It burns me up from inside out
Every word that leaves your familiar mouth
A mouth i once felt on mine...
Has just smiled as it said goodbye
For the final time...
