It's over

You've hurt her
For the last time
She's not going to
Put up with it anymore
The way you treat her
It's just not right
She won't stay
Any longer
She'll find a way out
But you don't listen
You go home
And beat her once again
But this time
She fights back
She locks herself
In the bedroom
And goes over
To the dresser
And pulls out a gun
You break open the door
And then fall to the ground
It's over
I told you
She wouldn't put up with you
But it's too late now
Since you're now dead

I thought the poem was good, but it was extremley sad. But i think no girl should have to put up with that. Its not right, it had to end some how.
