Shot through the Head

She watched him
He goes into the ambulance
Blood on my hands
Blood on my hands

The dutiful wife
She gets in her car
Where's the gun?
Where's the gun?

Her nose broken
Hurts when she wipes the blood away
Why did he?
How could he?

She follows the ambulance
At a safe speed
No need to hurry to him
No need to hurry

She gets to the hospital
Parks
He's in there
In there

She watches the doctors
They hurry away
Shot through the head
Shot through the head

One comes up to her
"I'm sorry Ma'am."
He's Dead
Dead

He says "Your Husband
Didn't make it."
Dead Dead
Shot through the head

He says "Ma'am we
Need to get you patched up"
He's Dead Dead
Shot through the head
Shot through the head

Elise

She is

Sunshine bottled
in a container
that was ill-treated
thrown around
and forgotten

To be found
by a knight
who will cherish
the container
with all its dents

and remember
there is sunshine
inside.
