Lots of Ways to Kill a Man

There are many ways
To kill a man
There are lots of ways
To die.

You can kill him
Lying or standing
Kneeling
Or sleeping.

There are as many ways
To kill a man
As there are men
To kill.

Line him in your site
They told me
To the center
Of your blade
Take two shots
They told me
And if he’s still moving
Take two more.

But there are lots of ways
To kill a man.

You learned your lesson well.

You caught me sleeping
When I was most vulnerable
When I trusted you
Believed you my friend.

You lulled me
With your fable
Of happily ever after
And I believed you.

That was the night
You put your lips
To my chest
And pulled the trigger.
