Choices

She had made her choice, he was all that she despised, the lies, the forced laughter, the empty words, he stood for all that was wrong with the world, she had no place in it, she didn’t want no part of it, what came after, it didn’t matter, her mind was made up, find the courage she did,  the gun wasn’t that easy, he stole away all that she had, the ravages on the body she could take, but the hole  in her soul could never be filled, the pen in her hand slipped and the song died on her lips, but the gun felt strong in her hands as she stood by the door, waiting, it was time to get even ,break the hold, set herself free, she could sense the arrogance of his heavy footed stride, it was now or never, he saw her and froze, the gun came up, she saw the fear, the surprise in his eyes, she pulled the trigger, her head exploded.
