Man Down Poem by Diamond Williams

Man down....
Somebody get him some help
He did her wrong
And she shot him to death
Man down....
Did somebody call the police
Help this man
He's bleeding please
Man down.....
I didn't mean to do it
Fear floods my mind
So shocked my body is not moving
Things happened to fast
My mind was living in the past
Secrets overflowing like a bath
There was so much I didn't know
So many things I couldn't believe
What about the marriage and the kids
So many things we will never achieve
Man down
All the neighbors heard it
The loud banging shots
The police are in the front yard
guns cocked
They are waiting for me
To come out the house
Hands up
And as quiet as a mouse
If only I could go back
I would let him go to his car
I would let him cool off
But I was a woman scorned
So when he walked away
I emptied my clip
His back was turned
He never saw it coming
Man down....
Come out hands in the air
The police yelled at me
I looked down at my boyfriend
and I could't breathe
I dropped to the floor
I just wanted to hold him
Before I could touch his face
the police unloaded them
straight shots to the head and chest
thats a fact
right next to the man I love
I died on impact
Like romeo and juliet
He was someone ill never forget
please forgive me for my sins
I loved him when it first begin
Man down......
