SHOTS OF VIOLENCE
YEARS TOGETHER WERE SO MANY
BUT, THIS TIME, LOVE TURNED TO ENVY
FOR A LONG PERIOD, I SMILED OFF A PUSH OR A SLAP
IT MEANT NOTHING, HOW COULD SUCH PAIN BE A LOVE TAP
TURNED TO SCREAMING AND HITTING, I NEEDED A RESTRAING ORDER, HE BACAME A STALKER
SUCH CRUELTY FROM A SMOOTH TALKER
SO MANY YEARS, WE TRIED
BUT, I UNDERSTOOD, AFTER TIME, YOU CAN'T BE SATISFIED
YOUR ISSUE WAS TO BRING FEAR
YOU DID, THAT IS WHY I THOUGHT A RESTRAINING ORDER WOULD KEEP YOU FROM BEING NEAR
YOU STALKED ME, LIKE I AM YOUR OWN
YOU SAID I BETTER ALWAYS BE ALONE
I REALIZED YOU SAID DEATH WAS NOT ONLY A NOTION
AND FINALLY YOU PUT IT ALL INTO MOTION
HER ON THE STREET, HER YOU DID TRACK
SHOTS RANG OUT, AND YOU KILLED HER IN A VIOLENT ATTACK
A COWARD YOU RUN AND HIDE
EVEN COMMITTING MURDER YOU CAN'T BE SATISFIED
FOR YOUR KIND, THERE IS NO JUSTICE, WE ARE LEFT VERY EMPTY AND SAD
BECAUSE YOU TAKE ALL THE BEAUTY, LUSTRE AND JOY FROM A WORLD THAT GAVE YOU EVEN THE LOVE SHE HAD
