His & His #PrayForOrlando

In an instant, everything changed

The music soon turned to a scream

It all unfolded like a painful drama

Scarier than any ghastly dream

It happened right in front of me

In a room that was filled with love

One second people were holding hands

Then it all became about push and shove

We all were trying to survive

The world looks down upon us anyway

All we did was fall in love

And yet others had lots to say

The first shot shook me up

From where I was, I saw him fall

The screams of others blinded me 

For help, I couldn't even call

He shot at the crowd randomly

Spitting and hurling abuses all the while

I ran and hid in the bathroom

When I looked back I saw the bodies pile

I managed to call my mother

Told her I loved her for the last time

She couldn't believe what was happening

Loving someone was not a crime

He did come for me soon

I lay down, pretending to be dead

I thought he would walk past me

But I felt a bevy of bullets instead

In those last minutes I looked at him

His face was slathered with hate

He looked like he wanted to do this

Like it was a part of his fate

Fifty of us lost our lives

But humanity died a thousand deaths that day

Those who survived would never live

The price of love, they'll have to pay

Homosexuality is not a sin

Taking a life surely is

Why should a gun be able to decide

The fate of his and his
