We saw no other option

We saw no other option. 

She grabbed her mom's keys, and I grabbed my dad's gun. 

We made our way towards where we would meet up. 

No tears. No pain. Nothing but her and I, this car and this gun. 

We stood just feet from each other, my gun aimed for her heart. 

The only sound was the purr of the silver Chevy's engine. 

People stopped and stared at us for only a moment. 

She stomps on the gas pedal, and the truck roars to life. 

I pull the trigger and send a bullet through her heart. 

The truck slams into me, and now we're both dead. 

My blood stains the exterior; hers the interior. 

The truck slams into the wall, and glass shatters everywhere. 

I grab her transparent hand, and she grabs mine. 

People continue walking as if they see nothing. 

At our funeral, we say goodbye to those who cared enough to show. 

We fly up to heaven on the wings of angels. 

Why, you may ask, did we do this? 

We saw no other option. 

Author's Note

This has so many points of views. How do you see it?
A tragic love story?
Two friends trying to escape the suffering?

The back story could appear as lovers, friends, or siblings. I like this, this will be different for every reader.

Whatever the relationship, two people that appear to have had enough with the world or it would seem they are being hunted and tired of running? I don't know probably a stretch.

Great poem. Leaving the back story up to the reader is very interesting.

Keep writing!

I've kind of been doing a lot of leaving it up to the reader. :)

[KittyKatgirl]

I find it a mixture of both. Lovers trying to ent the suffering. I like how you add people kept walking which shows some just don't give the s**t.

[Wall of Words]

That was really cool. It's also really neat how you gave the different point of views. At first it seems like two lovers, because of the "just her and I." It makes it seem like star-crossed lovers. But then, as you go through the poem, there is no other implication of them being lovers, so it seems more like a friendship. or a brother and sister.
BTW, it is technically sinful to kill yourself, so I'm not so sure you would ride up on the wings of angels.
The ending is my favorite part of the whole story. "Why, you may ask, did we do this? We saw no other option." *sigh* It's such a beautiful, final way to end it. Perfect. It shall ride up on the wings of the poem. Haha.
Great job.

Thank you for reading it. :) yeah I think that this was one of my best ones. Although I am Christian, I don't really believe in most of it, mainly just god, angels and demons. :)

[Wall of Words]

Me too. XD However, I also believe in heaven and hell.

[Silent Wolf]

Oh, that too. :)

[Donovan "Grey Wolf" Go..]

The question is whether or not that would even stop their suffering.... Or would it just cause more

[Silent Wolf]

I would have never thought of that. Thank you for reading.

[Donovan "Grey Wolf" Goodnight]

Your welcome and wolves are amazing:)

[Silent Wolf]

Yes. Yes they are. ^_^

[Felicity's Eve]

At first, I would probably see it as a tragic love story, but I couldn't help but feel it was more two friends trying to escape suffering. Quite the sad but wonderfully written poem :)

[Brandon S. Whitten]

It seems there is another story behind the one, perhaps they could not be together in life? Splendid read and write.

[Dark Rider]

This was really sad. And great! I loved everything about this. You're a really great poet. Great job! :)

[Silent Wolf]

Well, honestly, this wasn't the kind of poetry I was raised around, but it seemed to short to be a story. My friend and I were talking and we just kind of came up with both of us dying at the same time, since we decided that when we met, we would always be together and things, so we would clearly die together. So yeah. But after reading over this several times, I saw that there were other points of views besides her and I. A tragic love story, and many more.

[Dark Rider]

Yes, that's what I was thinking, the tragic love story,. But that's an interesting way of making a poem. :)

[Silent Wolf]

Sweet. ^_^ *Smile*
