His Only Solution

HER LOVE WAS UNTOLD
HER HEART WAITING TO BE LOVED GREW RUSTY AND OLD

SHE SAT EVERY NIGHT CRYING IN HER MISERY
HOPING WHEN THIS MAN WALKED THROUGH THE DOOR SHE WOULD
NOT HAVE TO WORRY

SOON HE WILL ARRIVE 
ALL SHE IS THINKING ABOUT THIS TIME IS WILL SHE SURVIVE

HE THEN ARRIVES LOOKING INSANE
SO PLAYS WITH HER SO SHE FEELS HIS PAIN

CHILDREN IN THE NEXT ROOM HEARING THE NOISE
OF BREAKING GLASS AND TRUST 
KNOWING WHEN THEIR MOM GOT MARIIED ALL SHE WAS FEELING WAS LUST

HE YELLS AT THEM TO SHUT UP
THEY DO NOT LISTEN

SO NOT LISTENING TO HIS COMMAND 
HE DEMONSTARTES HIS ANGER WITH HIS HAND

SOON EVERYONE IS QUIET 
AND HE STANDS THERE IN GUILT
KNOWING WHAT HE ONCE HAD CAN NOT BE REBUILT

HE TAKES THE GUN AND LOOKAS AT THE TRIGGER
TRYS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM BUT MAKES OURS BIGGER

that was intense. I like the way you put it all in caps, it grabs the attention but you should try dynamics, downplaying the smaller parts and explode the emotion with the capitalization.
