An Evening of Regret
There she lay
While a crimson pool around her head
Reaching into the cracks of the blacktop bed
Still and inaudible
While the her last breathe lingers in the mist
Taken from her mortality
A sad and horrifying reality
He didn’t focus in the moment of rage?
Now mapped out he’s turning another page
If only he had faith in the Lord above
The angels called on him but he gave them a shove
Trembling and frighten with his actions
A glitz in the brain with a minor distraction
His jealousy took a hold
Now minutes are ticking, and the damage is done
And he finds himself on the run
The police enter the scene
With shock and remorse for Christine
Just a week before she paid the police a visit
Asking for help and a restraining order with it
Miscommunications and untimeliness won
Her husband killed her with a gun
