White Rabbit

Another ancient poem

Loud- ratcheting around the scenery,

Gunshots ringing, the message very clear

With his life-threatening machinery, 

So turn, tail-up, and flee from him in fear,

Is what I should do, I know, but I'm stuck

Bunny in the headlights, frozen, he won

Hear the resounding crack, I'm out of luck

Too late to duck or hide or flee or run

It hit me

You got me

It's over

You shot me.

"My own life flashed before my eyes," they say,

-It just isn't true.  

Just a bright white, to a deep black, no grey

Nothing but darkness, no heavenly glow

I always knew this thing would end badly, 

& I'll scream, "Hate to say I told you so."

& With those eyes, you'll look at me sadly

My tiny heart racing, you walk away.

Too scared to look back, at the mess you made, 

This dramatic red blood on white display

No physical pain, I just feel betrayed

It hit me

You got me

It's over

You shot me.

Hurt, whimpering, my thoughts never leave you

& What you did to me, I can't ever forget

You did something I never thought you'd do

But what you did for me, I can't regret

You gave me a reason to keep trying

A lie to help me fight another day

You cut me so deep that now I'm dying

I wish that I could wish it all away..

It hit me

You got me

It's over

You killed me.
