Our Anniversary

I’m so excited
We've been married for a year!
We went out to dinner,
Took a walk by the beach,
Started talking and laughing by the shore.  
When we got home,
It was time to exchange gifts.
I gave him mine first.
A new wallet and the Xbox game he wanted.
Then it was my turn.
I could hardly wait.
He told me to close my eyes,
And to hold out my hands.
I did as he said.
I heard him struggling so it must be something big!!
Oh I could hardly wait!
But then I was confused.
There was a terrible pain in my stomach.
I opened my eyes and looked down.
There was a knife in my stomach.
Blood was spurting out.  
My husband was dead on the floor
Then I noticed the man
My ex.
Holding a gun up to his head.
Crying.
Just before I died,
He said,
You should have been mine.
And he shot himself.
