I will never forget the day,
the time and place
where you jumped in front
of my face
We were at the park playing basketball
and I’m not paying attention at all.
My back was turned
where the neighborhood
Gang banger was behind the fence,
aiming at my head from a distance.
Now having my 1st near death experience
thinking what a coincidence
when you grabbed me and pushed me
to the ground.
But unfortunately you got shot
in the windpipe.
You sacrificed your life
to save mine.
It’s so sad to see you die.
It’s hard for me to sleep at night,
but not only because the fact
that you died,
because I have a regret
and I owe you this secret,
and I’m ready to expose it.
as you look down from heaven,
just know that your wife
and I had an affair
and she’s pregnant.
Well, I was not prepared for the ending lol

OMG 😲 Ending was actually unexpected. I was feeling the pain while going through your poem. The sleepless nights and your friend’s death actually touched me. But your regret was quite unexpected.
