every slammed door
gunshot
every bumped locker
gunshot
every dropped book or stomped foot
gunshot
every thump from upstairs
gunshot
every shout from outside
gunshot
every all call and alarm
gunshot
every unsilenced cell phone
gunshot
every cold chill and gust of wind
gunshot
every extra moment of ominous silence
gunshot
every trench coat
gunshot
every online threat
gunshot
every door knob rattling
gunshot
every muted whimper
gunshot
every bullet on the bathroom floor
gunshot
every policeman on patrol
gunshot
every phone call
to tell you that
your last goodbye
was said before
you send her to school
