I died today edited

 I died today.

My heart began to bleed.

something squeezed it--

it began to crumble.

I wheezed, clutching my knees.

I curled up.

I died.

The sky was dark.

A storm was brewing.

I was unaware, 

Unprepared.

Lighting struck,

Thunder exploded,

I died,

 laying on the ground.

Blood poured.

Strangers passed–

No one seemed to notice.

Bruised, and torn,

I lay there dying.

Screams emerged.

Anger roared,

Separations came.

I cried,

Sleeping in the dirt.

I died today,

My heart in my hand.
