Your warm blood staining my shirt

My weapon on the floor behind us

The needle in my hand

Piercing your side

Stitch

After stitch

Your blood puddling on floor

My shaking hands sloppily sewing what I've done

My tears falling on your chest

Your eyes draining of all color

My feet running back to where we were

My hands picking up my weapon

My weapon

Piercing my heart

My body

Falling to the floor
