Death Do Us Part

Her mind drew blank She didn't know what to do She never did in these situations Even the smallest of movements Would cause him to shoot It wasn't the first time it happened Nor the second but the third She always had a type for the crazy ones She knew it Ever since her first fling Five years ago at summer camp When she fell for a guy Who wrote a poem about killing a bird She ignored the signs The first time The gun pressed against his head The second time He claims It was the voices in his head haunting him Telling him to kill her Here we are with ex-boyfriend three "If you move I will shoot you" She was terrified Every bone in her body Couldn't move She thought of all the signs She ignored in the past When he lost his sense of reality When he started talking to himself about a person named Ryan Maybe she should have called the Hospital But it was too late now.
