Killed

A healthy life I had lived.

So much love I had to give.

And I gave away as much of it as I could.

But according to someone, that was not good.

I was killed in vain to soothe their ego.

Little did they know, I would not silently go.

I admit I did not see their face.

Yet I felt them in my space.

Although I did not have time to turn.

I knew it was something I did not want to learn.

I was killed in haste to hide a secret unknown.

Unbeknown to them, the truth would be known.

It was no accident, this untimely death.

Cut short was the time that I had left.

I held the key to something vital.

Enough to compose an emotional recital.

I was killed to stop the connection I would make.

But I know I won't make the same mistake.
