Bang Bang


Bang Bang

impact throws her back

into the snow

where she once played as a little girl

it is a pillow that softens her fall

but the bullet buries into her chest

Bang Bang

her eyes close

her soul rises

a little angel smiles and extends a hand to help her to heaven

and she is gone

mother weeps, father looks grim

Bang Bang

and their baby melted away

into the snow

she kisses goodbye her childhood

and floats away from her innocence

Bang Bang

she did nothing wrong

but she pays the price

split blood

for what?

Bang Bang

goodbye
