Have you ever felt so strong that if you were shot, you could take it?
Like right here, right now.
BANG!
Through the centre of my heart, a bullet made from diamond pieced through.
My love for you poured out, crimson in colour, the temperature was the body.
Are you comfortable enough?
My heart is now faulty.
Pain, what pain? I’m too shocked to notice.
Eyes closed I hear your voice, ‘Unique, stay with me, baby.’
Like a baby, I lay helpless.
But I love this shade of red, it suits me.
You always looked impeccable in a suit darling, always.
I feel the warmth of your whisky infused breath, upon my eyebrows.
‘You can’t leave me Unique, we have a whole future together!’
I wonder if you noticed the expiry date when we joined up?
Thinking ‘forever’ never means the definition.
I found that out twenty seconds ago.
Have you ever felt so powerful, that if you were shot at, they would miss?
Rat-ta-ta-tah
(Pop, pop, Pop)
A bullet scrapes by the side of my neck. But you’re alright darling, that’s all that matters.
‘Unique, I love you with all my heart.’
My heart bleeds out, air drifts away from me.
I can’t feel your breathing anymore, I struggle to open my eyes.
I know I’m dying.
Rat-ta-tah!
‘Unique, I’m sorry baby. You know I love you, I do.’
Rah-ta-ta-tah, Rah-ta-ta-tah!
(Pop, pop, pop)
Every time you come around.
I take a few steps back, you make ten strides forward.
I tell you no.
You answer for me.
I lay motionless with a 5cm hole through my heart.
The beats are fading out.
Every time.
You return like the predicted coming of Jesus.
Only you’re here, right now.
BANG!
My brown eyes open the moment the bullet cuts into the skin between my eyebrows.
Breathing
My sun, my moon, my peace.
Everything I did was for you.
My moon, my sun, I sleep.
Everything you did was for you.
Never again will I see, never again will I feel.
Once loved, twice shot.
Twice shot, lovers plot.
11:11
Lovers plot? What’s the essence?
To kill for love, to kill equates to no sense.
No senses are working, I’m sorry.
Time of death.
‘I’m sorry, Unique! Please don’t die. I don’t know what came over me. I never wanted you to leave me. I’m sorry.’
He cradles my body and his tears and hysterics shower me with wasted energy.
‘I, I only wanted you to be mine. I wanted you to love me, just like I love you. Look, I wanted us to get married.’
He picks up the diamond ring from the side of my thigh and pushes it onto my ring finger.
He presses his lips upon mine and somehow ignores the blood that covering my Ruby Woo.
‘I panicked. Please, GOD! Please don’t let her die.’
His phone beeps.
He sends a reply.
He looks at pictures of us taken yesterday.

‘I wish we could spend the rest of our lives together, just us.’
‘I do too, baby girl.’
He phones the police.
