Killshot

The unforgiving grooves of the sidewalk

Dug in to the tops of my knees,

My heart took off with my stomach,

My breath disappeared with the breeze,

The shots that he took with his words,

And the actions unknown 'till that day,

They hit, and they pierced, and they tore

Through all of the reasons to stay,

But I bandaged my knees, and I stood,

And I spend every day in the fight,

Adrenalin is my weapon against

All but the darkness of night,

The glimpses I get of his smile

Force all of the pain to sit back,

He opens his mouth, and shoots daggers,

But a bandage will always fix that,

But someday, the blood will stop pouring,

And the pain will fully retreat,

And all of the things that he hasn't said

Will be the final shot that I need.
