Leaving me behind

It's a mad world
It's a bad world
It's a sad world

You can hide
You can run
You can hush it

Then one day it looms
Clear like water from the snow
I see me staring back
Asking questions I can't answer

And then he plunges a dagger
Deep into my heart
Blood oozes
Breath stops
Mind goes numb
Breaths counting
I lay cold
Eyes closed
Everything still

I didn't run now
I didn't hide now
I didn't hush it now

My eyes opened
And I walked again
Leaving me behind
