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