Run For Your Life

“I love you,” you whimpered,

“Please don’t do this!”

Smiling at your agony,

In disgust I hissed.

 

How could you NOT expect this

After what you had done?

If I were you

I’d say goodbye to the sun.

 

You won’t live past tonight –

You don’t deserve to.

I still can’t believe

That I once loved you.

 

But no more –

That part of my life is dead.

And now together we stand,

My gun to your head.

 

As the stars in the sky

Do a celebratory dance,

I decide I’ll give you

One last chance.

 

But you better run for your life

While you still can.

But first, a final kiss –

Prove you’re a man.

 

I’ll let you hide

Alone in the park

But nothing is safe

From me in the dark.

 

I’ll find you

Believe you me.

And I’ll hang your lifeless body

For all men to see.

 

You’ll be my example

For all those to come.

They’ll know not to screw

With me and my gun.

 

They will learn

That it’ll do no good to cheat,

Because they’ll end up

Just like you, my Sweet.

Another brilliant piece.
Jealousy and revenge are always popular subjects.
The wording is good, the flow is smooth.
I really enjoy your work.
