Love Kills

Plates crash against the wall in her trying struggle to save their marriage
His drunken stutters progress into an angry uproar spouting suicidal thoughts
She's suddenly sent into a fit of sobs with her head held low in her hands
Grabbing her by the wrist, he violently slams her head into the wall with a loud crack
It echoes throughout the house as she collapses
And she moans quietly against the smooth, slick tile floor
He picks her up once more, by her hair this time
Shoving the gun under her chin, she cries out into the empty room
He pulls the trigger with a click
Nothing
She snatches the gun from him
BANG!
He falls to the ground in a lifeless heap
She sits, lethargic and mindless
