The Gun

THE GUN It started one very quiet night. The kids in bed tucked in tight. I heard a door slam from a car. He was home from the bar. Falling down drunk as he came in. I knew right then I was going to commit a sin. He started cussing the kids and calling them names. Right then I knew I wasn't playing his games. Then he looked at me with a evil eye. He said "hey b**ch tonight you die". The day began oh so nice. I pick up the gun and never thought twice. I never thought about what I'd done. Killed my husband with his own damn gun.
