More than one
Bullet through the heart
It killed her at the start
Falling to the floor
Life in her body no more
The shooters had fled
A teen girl is dead
Yet he bares no guilt
Even though her family can’t be rebuilt
Her mother cried so hard it hurt
Her father sobbed and tossed in a handful of dirt
Her friends couldn’t believe it
That someone would commit this
But when that bullet hit her chest
More than one life came to a rest
Her mother quit her job
Her father couldn’t stop the sobs
Launched into a state of grief
For all of eternity
And the world will now mourn
The children that would’ve been born
The family that she would’ve raised
If she hadn’t gone to school that day
That dreaded day, the act too cruel
All because some seniors wanted to feel cool
So they killed a whole family tree
And hurt someone who couldn’t flee
Her parents will never see grandchildren
The guilty will always continue to run
Her girlfriend never got to say goodbye
And all those tears will never dry
Yet the culprits will forever be unshaken
Even though more than one life was taken.
