Alive

Struggling through the forest, I feel like I am caught
Panting in terror remembering blood
I feel like death has returned to my side
My parents lying askew on the floor with blank eyes
My dog ripped into halves
I only turned seven, the number of luck
Why has this happened tonight?
I feel like crying, curling tight into a ball
I can't take this any longer, I simply want to die
Why has this have to happen tonight?
I was going to sleep when I heard out door crack
Once, twice, then a really loud bang
I jumped up and rushed to see what's inside,
I lost my left arm and the will to stay alive
I sniffle and sit down on the cold ground
A small brown/gray mouse climbs onto my arm
I sniffle and hug it close to my heart
I swear I can feel the beat of her heart
Oh why did this have to happen tonight?
I hear rustling of leaves
Oh no, I have to run
I slowly get up and run with my full might
Footsteps behind me
I have to be quicker
The little mouse is beginning to quiver
I jump over a tree, and stumble on a rock
No, I have to stay alive for tonight
Why did this have to happen tonight?
He's gaining on me, this monster with skythe
I feel more longing to get out alive
Strength is draining, my tears freely fall
I probably won't make it today after all
Suddenly there's pain and I feel my soul part
From the body falling in slow motion on the ground
He's standing over me, laughing that laugh
But where, yes! the mouse has escaped alive
