Tonight is the night for us
I wait
Patiently setting the romantically lit table
I hear a soft knock at my front door
I walk gracefully trying not to soar
You greet me with a disinterested kiss
For me, you've ruined our night of bliss
I try even harder to please you
Jumping to your every call to see who
You really love
You quickly close your cell when I walk in
At this point, I quickly begin
To assume that it's not me you want
But someone else who's got you flaunt[ing]
The gear that you wear
The cologne that mesmerizes me
Wasn't bought to please me
As our dinner comes to a close
You begin to tug at my clothes
I begin to cry for lack of thought
And you slap me and say I ought
To be glad you even came
And that you were missing the game
I quickly flee up the steps in disgust
Guzzling down wine and stifling a cuss
You appear at my door with a gun in your hand
I quickly maneuver towards the window to stand
I weep silently awaiting your reactions
You lower the gun and come racing at me
I hug you passionately and reach for the phone
I can feel you smell and caress me as you moan
I ask you, "Why?!" and want to know your plan
I love you, you say, but you know that I know
"About what?"
"That brother you have waiting at the ho
Tell me why you are doing this to me!"
I simply reply that, "I hate you and I want you to hate me. Now die!"
I shoot him!
