• A sob,
    it breaks the perfect silence.
    I look around,
    in the dark room,
    to see you there.
    I shake,
    as I walk to you.
    What is that in your hand?
    No!
    What are you saying?
    I am right here.
    I am not dead.
    Who told you that lie?
    No!
    Put the gun down!
    Please?!?
    I told I am not dead.
    Can you hear me?
    I am talking to you,
    I am right here!!!
    Please,
    put it down!
    No!
    I won't let you!
    Don't do this to me!
    You did save me!
    NO!
    BOOM!
    Blood,
    Brains,
    your remains.


    I walk to you,
    relizing that,
    becuase of what you thought.
    you died.
    I stroke your bloody face,
    and scream,
    and cry.
    You shining silver eyes,
    are still open.
    I shut them and kiss them,
    ignoring the blood,
    that now stains my lips.
    I sit on the bed next to you.


    I wrench that stupid,
    silver,
    gun from your cold hands.
    I hold it to my own head,
    just as you did a moment before.
    I close my eyes and,
    BOOM!
    I go with you.
    I promised you I would,
    and I did.


    I hear the footsteps,
    they pound into the room.
    I hear our mothers,
    they are screaming and crying.
    I know why.
    We died together,
    and they know it.
    I want to cry,
    as look down from my place in heaven,
    I am sitting next to you.
    You look at them,
    and sigh.
    Why?
    I ask you.
    You shrug and turn away.


    I watch as they hold each other.
    I watch as they hold us.
    I watch as our fathers pull them away.
    I watch as they carry us to a big van,
    our bodies in old trash bags.
    I watch as they load us into the cold van,
    and to the hospital,
    I watch them examine us.
    I watch them bury us,
    all the while your head is turned.
    I watch with tears in my eyes,
    Finally I close them.


    I sit up in my bed and scream.
    I fell all over.
    I am alive.
    I am well.
    Are you.
    I talk to you.
    You are okay but,
    what a horrible dream.
