Later! Poem by Melynda Smith

Bang! Bang!
It's all I can hear,
Besides the heavy breathing, breathing of my partner.
She's bleeding, bleeding from many wounds,
The wounds from a gun.
She needs help, but we're criminals,
We're wanted,
Dead or Alive.
The bounty hunters, have found us,
Now here we are, defeating them, but,
we're also dieing.
This wasn't our choice,
Thisisn't supposed to be her destiny,
I wanted to protect her, protect her from this cruel, harsh and cold world.
But, now, here,
Lying on death's doorstep, waiting, hoping,
Hoping this is the end of pain, loneliness, heartache, pity, and sympathy.
But inside, my friend, my friend Sidney,
All she wishes is to be loved, love is all she needs,
Not a friend's love, no,
A true love's love, but, she can't get it.
'Cause here she now lies,
6 feet underground in a coffin buried.
I will live my life for her, her soul is now part,
A part of my soul,
As i stand over her, with tears streaking down my face.
I say 'Kill me, Kill Me! All my other friends are dead, my family, all who've i've loved, are gone! '
As an answer, the last thing before i felt and saw
a blanket of darkness cover me,
is a gun, and one last word.
'Later! '
