I Had No Intentions
He motioned too me from across the street His arms waving madly "Come over to me" I saw the panic as he approached We both ran quickly to the house Where the windows were shot out He lay there bleeding on the floor My mother beside him screaming "Dear Lord Someone shot my boy" I held his hand till the ambulance came Then onto a stretcher they took him away I followed close from the car behind The lights and the sirens both dull in my mind November 9 Killed by a bullet from a jealous gun It rattled his eyelids and pierced through his lungs The damage now done He was seen by her lover the night before Swearing to kill him outside her door To her defense my brother walked out Raising his fists and screaming "Get out It's me she's with now!" Hotel hospital the tears burned my eyes I slipped into nighttime and deep into dying Without even trying. From Letras Mania
