Frozen I Stand, Frozen I Lay

Why would he do it?

Frozen I stood there.
Watching my breath in the air as I exhaled.
I saw him leaving.
I called his name with an echo.
Not sure if he heard the words that might not have even been said.
I wanted to follow.
But my legs wouldn't budge.
Silent cries poured from my heart.
He looked back at me.
He stopped.
I didn't know what he was doing.
Then he pulled out a gun.
I didn't know what he was going to do with it.
He pointed the gun at his head.
I tried to scream to stop him.
But my mouth wouldn't open.
I watched in horror as he was about to pull the trigger.
But instead.
The gun was pointed at me from yards away.
I tried to scream and run,
But I was frozen there.
I looked at him with plead in my eyes.
Begging for him not to do it.
I heard a noise.
The noise of a gunshot.
Frozen I lay there.
