Love in the shape of a gun

Each night he drives for an hour straight
And enters the house where his wife impatiently waits
Together they sit and enjoy a meal she prepared
As she quickly forgets the hours where she sat still and stared
She opens her mouth and asks about his week
Without looking up he says, Honey, I dont want to speak
Forcefully, she sighs and slams down her fork
And replies I dont care, I think we need to talk
He gets up and slowly he walks away
She screams after him Ive waited for you to come back for days
He shakes his head and drags his feet up the stairs
Just making her out as she screams You dont even care!
He turns back round, tears down his face
As he tells her how their marriage is a disgrace
She turns her head, and lowers it in shame
And squeezes her eyes shut as she hears him say
Everyday I rush through traffic
To be here with you, at home
But I know when I do, as you lay be my side
I am still lying here, alone
She stands in guilty silence as he stares
And he says So dont even tell me that I dont even care
She squeaks an apology, quietly crying
Stabbing him more as he knows that shes lying
I know all about him, please dont deny
Thats why I know this marriage is a lie
How can I live if, of someone else you dream?
Our life together is not at all as it seems
She begs him to forgive her as he reaches for a gun
All I wanted was to be someone
His hands violently shake, as if out of fear
Stroking the gun, love is right here
She asks what he means and he replies
Love is a gun, pull the trigger, someone dies
She backs away quickly, unable to breathe
Im sorry, I didnt mean to, forgive me, please
Tears fall to the floor as he shakes his head
When you love someone else, our love is then dead
How can you live? You dont love me anymore
And she gasps at the gun shot and watches his body fall to the floor
