I died today

 I died today

My heart began to bleed

something squeezed it

it began to crumble.

I wheezed cuddling my knees

I curled up and died

The sky was dark

a storm was brewing

I was unaware, unprepared

Lighting came 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
