BANG, BANG

Bang, bang, I shot him dead
Bang, bang, right in the head
Bang, bang, it served him right
Bang, bang, he knew I might

Why did he treat me the way that he did
All I ever did was love him with all my heart
I tried to do everything his way
But he never appreciated one little thing

I had put him on a pedestal
Groveling at his feet
He wasn't a god, I know that now
But love blinded my common sense

I put up with all his crap
I really tried to make it work
But he mock and scolded and sometime beat
I had no choice, he left me none

Bang, bang, I shot him dead
Bang, bang, right in the head
Bang, bang, it served him right
Bang, bang, he knew I might



Sorry, this got dark, but then again, the prompt was dark.

enjoyed the darkness and yes, it is a dark photo... the repetitive format of bang, bang was a great tool in adding more to your poem... i too was caught in the moment of darkness and drama of this photo... sometimes love stinks!!
