Taking that bullet was easy for you?<\/p>\n
Leaving me behind, out of the blue.<\/p>\n
Even if it was to save my life,<\/p>\n
To protect our children, you, my wife<\/p>\n
Have left the world so much sooner than I<\/p>\n
I don’t think that’s enough reason to die.<\/p>\n
Was there even a concious thought behind the action?<\/p>\n
Did you love me so little for such a reaction?<\/p>\n
And sure, they’ll say you loved me dearly.<\/p>\n
That you saved me, clearly.<\/p>\n
But I’m still alone and he’s still got that gun.<\/p>\n
