The Bullet
How can such a little thing,
Cause so much pain?
I feel it crash into my stomach,
My body goes lame.

It's happening so fast.
I fall to the ground.
I see the people's mouths moving,
But yet I hear no sound.

'I'm not going to make.
I'm gonna die.'
Everyone seems to fade away;
I think I'll just close my eyes.

I can't feel my body.
I'm starting to get cold.
I start to blank out,
Until I realize I'm in someone's hold

I use all the strength I have,
To open up my eyes.
I see him holding me.
I watch him as he cries.

As he starts to speak,
Suddenly his voice I can hear.
"Baby, don't leave me.
I can't live without you near.

I know we're just good friends
But I love you far too much,
To live without you,
To live without your touch."

I think I'm being moved.
God, my stomach hurts.
Out of all the things that happened to me,
I know this is the worst.

Why?
What did I do that was so wrong?
I put criminals away.
I did my job for a time that was so long.

I saved people,
I stopped crimes.
I helped others,
When their lives were on the line.

Some people try to help me,
As to the hospital me they send.
My life is fading,
It's almost at the end.

I see him.
I need to tell him that I care.
I need to tell him I'm sorry,
I'm sorry I wasn't and won't always be there.

How can I tell him all that?
Now's the time to be true.
Three little words amazingly pop out.
I stutter, "I love you."

My eyes close.
I hear him yell, "No!
Stay with me.
Please, don't go."

That's the last thing I remember.
He hears the machine go blank.
"I'm sorry, sir. She's gone."
Into him those words sank.
