I saw red

By: Daniel Alexandre Antunes

I walk through these gates with you in my mind,
Thinking of how you were so sweet and so kind.
The rain starts to fall down to the ground,
All I hear is your voice and no other sound.
I can hear the wind start to whisper your name,
I know that without you I will never be the same.
The reason why you ended it are not even known,
Ever since you came to me, as a human I have grown.
You gave me so much and now, took a lot more,
It was only yesterday around the time of four,
When you came to me with a great big smile,
I only closed my eyes just for a little while...
Now I can’t even open them and now I only see red,
Because what you took was my life when you shot me dead.
