Trophy

Like a frightened doe,
my wide brown eyes caught in the light of you.
I am frozen,
staring,
as you reach for an arrow.
Time is still.
All is silent.

SUDDENLY!

The scream of an arrow,
pierces the air.
into my heart.
I am falling.
My pain is intense.
Frighten me more.
My heart bleeds for you.
You finish your kill.
With the help of your friends,
You cut off my head.
Leave my body to rot.
You Do Not Care!
I was just another trophy.
