I met her on a bright summer day at the neighborhood store
Sparks flew between us like I had never experienced before.
We became best friends and got so close
I enjoyed simply spending time with her the most
Forget basketball with the fellas and football in the street
And staying up late talking to the different females I’d meet
We were just friends but we shared something real
She’s the only person that actually understands how I feel
We’d sit and talk for hours about everything under the sun
It felt so good to have someone to relate to
I was sad when it was done
Her beauty to me is one of a kind; her mind thoughts and sprit are so divine
I gather all the courage I have and put all fear and animosity aside I ask her "will you be mine?"
All of the love admiration and sincerity she began to confess
I held her closely as she said yes
From that day forward there was nothing that could tear us apart
She was my mind, body soul and heart
Life was so much easier now that she was here
I opened up my heart to her because I knew I had nothing to fear
We started school and she was always by my side
Dudes smile in her face but when I’m around they hide
They make me mad with their deceitful ways
I say to myself I’ll get them all some day
I love her so much and can’t stand the thought of her with another guy
I’d have to whop me somebody…or at least I’d try
Her love belongs to me and mine to her
How dare someone try to cause the end of our love to occur?
I finally find the dude that’s been trying to holla at my boo
I walk up to him and say "Who the **** are you?"
He replies with a sly smile and an evil look on his face
"my name is Kenny but you can call me Ace"
My face turns red with hate
This dude is tryin to take my girl there must be some mistake!
Ace steps to me and says, "watch me take your lil honey"
Then he laughs in my face like his joke was so funny
I’m red with anger, frustration and disbelief
Who knew this dude was a thief
I thought to myself I can’t let this happen
Bump all that I’m snappin!
I click on that dude with ease
He had no response and simply leaves
I’m so proud of myself I defended my girl with pride
Once again she’s by my side
I think to myself we’ll be together forever
There will be no dude trying to stop us from being together
Til one day I hear word of Kenny’s return
I heard he’s coming back and this time he was bringing his gun
Fear stuck up in me like never before
I knew what Kenny had in store
I thought it’d be wise to arm myself with the biggest gun I could find
I was gonna prove to this dude that my girl is MINE
The hall was packed like always but I was sure I could make the shot
The fear built up in me and I had to remind myself "She’s all I got"
I pulled my gun out my pocket and fired two rounds
The next thing I knew he fell to the ground
I froze with fear askin myself what had I done?
I regained control and was able to run
I ran all the way to my car and sped away
I was physically sick over what had happened today
I was going so fast dodging cars left and right
I guess that’s how I missed that red light
A truck came through and hit me head on
All I saw was bright lights, then they were gone
I woke up in the hospital in so much pain
To move my head I had to strain
The nurse was by my side with sympathetic eyes
I asked her to do me a favor as I began to cry
"Tell my sweet heart that I love her with every thing in me
Thank her for loving me unconditionally"
With a low sigh I faded away
The nurse stood there silently crying at the last words he’d chosen to say
Because she’d never be able to tell his girlfriend what he’d said
Because earlier that day he didn’t shoot Kenny he shot her instead.
With the hall so packed and full of people that day
It could have been anyone that got in the way
But it was his girl friend rounding a corner going to class
She had no idea what was going on because it happened so fast
A tragic end to true love since
Problems were solved by using violence.
To those of you that think violence solves problems, keep in mind that although this story is fiction it is possible.
