Man Down

It was a mirage,
We fell in love,
We didn't care,
We just wanted to be.

We were rejected,
We were mocked, 
We were shamed, 
We were separated,

Tribalism was it all for,
I couldn't judge any further 
but still I didn't want to let go any longer,

It was a nightmare ,
When he gave up and walked out of my face,
I was already dead as I stood, 
I was told he was getting wed just in the name of class,
I stopped my breath, so I was numb
So could no one read me,

I can't have him,no one will popped in my head,
I ran home and got a gun,
I actually didn't mean it but I shot him,
In the name of love, four bullet sounded, 
And I came to realise, I had killed my world
The man was down, 
I just shoot him down,

I fall to the ground and watched from afar,
Suddenly I stood up and picked a race, 
I was racing after the man I just shot, 
My life that I killed 
I ran after him and he faded him the wind

Boom!!!
I was shoot, 
I was on the ground immediately, 
I was shoot by the supposed bride, 
I smiled at her and said thank you cause I could suffer the pain with him

He was down, so was i
Man down, love down
We fell in love and death was never the end of us 
Just the beginning which just began with no end.....
