Boom...like a shot in the dark.

It was hard and fast. Out of nowhere. I'm still not sure how it all happened. All I know, was that I was bleeding within minutes. All of it flowing out like spilled milk. I had no control over it nothing.

Just Bang.... and it was all over.

My hands still smell like blood. I can seem to clean it. Stained. My shirts ripped open, dripping. I just wish I saw it coming. Maybe I could have stopped it. Maybe I could have warned everyone. No.

 Just Bang.... and it was all done. 

I'm still recovering. Chest still feels like it's in flames. Brutal and efficient. I've never known something so vicious. Destroyed it all, like nothing mattered. Broken things and shattered dreams are all that's left.

Just Bang.... and it was all over.

I still think about it, how it used to be. Maybe someday it could be like that again. So full of color, vivid and exquisit. Not full of smoke and bullet holes. Drenched in ichor and blood, I stumble through. Not sure exactly how I got here. All I heard was the shot.

Just Bang.... and it was all done.

I still gather up all the pieces. Thinking, maybe i can put it back together. Maybe it will be fixed and be done. I keep trying, but something is missing. Something that supports the integrity of the entire structure. Something shot through in the midst.

Just Bang....


...and it was all over and done.
