4 Walls

If these four walls could talk they would say.. I'm so sorry that I'm driving you crazy today there's so much on my chest, I've much to convey And no one will believe you if you repeat this any way Leaving is futile, I've locked the door Stop screaming and crying, don't wanna hear it any more Help yourself to some popcorn, I promise I won't be a bore You'll find that recliner to be more comfy than wallowing on the floor But...as you wish...floor could use a good buffing, but I digress That's chalk residue beneath you, and it outlined a macabre mess I've developed 5 more cracks just this morning, I just can't handle the stress I've...witnessed a murder, and to this I must confess There is a back story to this, and this room is the center of the tale, Host to many extravagant galas, known for entertaining on a grand scale The most extravagant to do, was just for two, Saturday date night, held without fail They supped sumptuous steaks, sipped bubbly ale, and read each other like braille But the only thing they read that last night was the riot act Accusations of infidelities loosely based on fact Text messages, instant messages, emails hacked He was tired of the Saturday night charade, and soon his bags would be packed You're going to regret using me like a pawn she said Saturday night special aimed at his head Then she mouthed that pistol, and ingested it's lead Their last night spent together in this room, laying there dead That wall over there was painted a darker blue because it had the biggest splatter Somebody really needs to replace the window in that other wall, the first bullet made it shatter Gee I feel so much better now, actually looking forward to new owners... So, what's the matter? Are you still interested in making a bid, or was that just idle chatter? 2/21/16
