Famous Last Words

Famous Last Words
By; Eriko

I look out the window, to find a man
Standing outside with a gun in his hand
What is his purpose, why is he here?
Is he from far, or is he from near?
Who is he after, if we both flee
Will he shoot you, or will he shoot me?
It makes me quite frightened, I don't want to die
But what did I do, to anger this guy?
It has been established, he's ready to kill
The tension is rising, it's making me ill.
What should I do, should I stay here and fight
While you run away, off into the night.
I stare on in horror, and move all discreet
The gunman is coming, he's crossing the street.
We go behind cover, as he enters the yard
The next couple minutes will prove to be hard.
The doorbell is ringing, my mom opens the door.
We hear a loud bang as she falls to the floor.
It's clear that he's hunting, why I don't know
But he's entered the house, there's nowhere to go.
We're crying and hugging, our lives are all done.
We look up to see him, he raises the gun.
He cocks back the hammer and says we will die.
My famous last words were, Why God, Why?

BANG
