I Had Been Shot

I lost a lot of blood.

By Darla M SeelyPublished about a year ago 1 min read

Strength left me, a bullet in my heart.

I fell asleep then woke with a start;

Lost a lot of blood and felt really ill.

Each jolt I felt made me lie still.

Next thing I knew I lay on a hospital bed.

Comforting words could not be said.

Each time I moved many tears were shed.
