She says as the music plays
In the background
Drowning out the commotion
So the neighbors don’t know what’s really going down
Thinking it’s still the party going on
“I know this is what you want. I know this is what you want”
She continues her taunt in the wake of his rage
Surprised that this rat did not cower to its cage
Shocked by her action
To reaction
He takes another swig to
Approve his dissatisfaction
“I will never be your…”
Her words fell short
But his fist did not
Breaking her fall with the help of the center table
I mean
All in all he was justified right?
She asked for it so he had to prove he was able
But she,
She swore he would never hit her again
And ran him through with that broken glass
Taking up the mantle of Cain.
“I, I, I loved you
And all you fed me were black and blue eyes
On a platter of lies
Cruel summer nights
Wishing
Hoping
Praying for you demise
I warned you
I’ve had it, I’ve had it
Enough is enough
And I can only take so much”
Limp and cold…
He falls to the floor
Drowning in regret
Yet he will hit her no more
But you see…
This story started
Somewhere in the middle of the climax to the end
So I may summarize
The lives of two lovers who started out as friends
But now,
As she looks on at what she has done
She realizes her music has stopped playing
Swapped with the wailing of the approaching siren.
