Stop. Act
She is like the dying animal you cannot stand to see in pain
You do everything you can to keep the dying animal, alive
Stopping to think you realize, the reason is mostly guilt
Guilty, for fataly wounding that animal
You believed it eased both yours and the animal's pain
So you stop and think
...
One is dying for a long time
One is still deeply disturbed
You do everything you can to keep the dying animal, alive
Stopping to think you realize, the reason is mostly guilt
Guilty, for fataly wounding that animal
You believed it eased both yours and the animal's pain
So you stop and think
...
One is dying for a long time
One is still deeply disturbed

I'm not sure if your last two lines tie this all together ... Who's dying "for a long time" - "the animal" or the one inflicting the pain (a death within)?

Who is more disturbed? The one killing or the one being killed? Is the animal not escaping by force or choice?
