Shot Through the Heart

The first time it hurts

Then you get accustomed to him being gone

Then he comes back for a break

Bang

He’s gone again but the whole is wider

It hurts just as much as the first time if not more

When he comes back

Bang

Now Christmas break

You get him back for longer

You spend as much time with him as you can

Bang

He comes back with someone this time

You try to spend time with him

All he talks about is her

Bang

Finally summer vacation

You want to spend all of your time with him

Make up for what was lost

Bang.  She’s stealing him away

Next year

You naively expect different

No – he spends all of his time with her

Bang

Now you are numb

Used to the pain and feeling of loss

A wave of nostalgia

Bang

You try to talk – can’t find common ground

No more deep conversations

You don’t know him anymore

Bang

Left on the floor alone

Bleeding and crying out for him

Please come back

Bang
