BANG BOOM BAM
I’m startled, afraid
BANG BOOM BAM
I’m all alone again

The light flashes, illuminating your face
Quiet and docile, in such a disheveled place
The sounds claps again, resonating through the sky
My heart skips a beat, I look but do not find
Gone, fear seems to have driven you away
Why did you have sense to leave? When I foolishly stayed
Seconds later, the light returns again
In an instant, my life was doomed to end

BANG BOOM BAM
I’m startled, afraid
BANG BOOM BAM
I’m all alone again

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
