The text I got

Yeah
I knew

I knew thats where it was going
I knew that you cheated on me
I knew that I wasn't loved
I knew I wasn't enough

So now I sit on my bed

Wrapped in blankets

Trying to warm my heart

My heart
Thats slowly freezing
Freezing over

So I hug my puppy
My little puppy
Who knows only how to love

I let him go

I hear his little paws padding down
Down the wooden stairs

Echoing
For the last time

The screams came

My mothers scream
My fathers scream
My puppy's scream

My scream
As I went down the wooden stair
Just like my puppy

And just like my puppy

Laying still on the floor

My mother falls
Shots ringing in the air

My father falls
Shots ringing in the air

I fall down

But no shots

Just the threat

The threat

If I dont help him hide these bodies

Ill hear more shots

And it'll be the last thing I hear
Other than the screams

The screams of my mother
The screams of my father
The screams of my puppy
