From where the heat sprouted
And then skipped to my brain

Morbid thoughts flashed in my mind
And then red clouded my vision

I have almost forgotten this feeling
How much I missed it so
The wet streaks on my cheeks
And my chest that felt so hollow

It came so quickly
It hit like a truck
The pain of being numb
I swear it sucks

It hurts that I don't know
Where the tears came from
The burn it left on my face
Reached my heart, my soul, before I even felt gun
