PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

(Talking to herself and her abusive husband)

“Now I lay me down to rest,

I know I didn’t do my best,

I tried and I couldn’t do it right,

I’m tired cuz I tried all night.”

(Laying down on the bed)

“Now I lay me down to sleep,

Another sound tonight, I won’t peep,

If I should utter another sound,

Go ahead and gun me down.

(Soft snoring accompanied by a single gunshot)

Now I lay me down to die,

I know my life sucked, but why?

If I am still alive when you come back in,

Please shoot me in the heart again.

(Gunshot)
