Anniversary

Id never think of you to hurt me
i trusted you so much
the only guy i know
with such a gentle touch

you said you had a surprise
for our one year anniversary
my heart quickened at the thought
of what it could possibly be

we got into your car
and drove to a distant place
you parked the car on an empty beach
reached over and turned my face

"your the most beautiful girl i know
i love you with all my heart
i want to be with you forever
with only death to tear us apart"

he held my hand in his
and on one finger slipped a ring
"will you marry me Teresa?"
but i couldn't say a thing

when i finally got my breath back
i whispered "yes i will"
he leaned over and kissed my lips
and the tears began to spill

we started to walk toward the water
another car pulled up next to ours
"this is a private beach" said Jason
as one of the guys began to howl

"nice ride" one yelled to the other
as they began to gather round
"how bout the keys rich boy?
throw 'em on the ground"

"piss off you rotten kids" yelled Jason
i tightly gripped his hand
"wrong answer" said the other driver
as he slowly began to stand

three shots were fired out of no where
i screamed as Jason fell
the boys took both cars and ran
my life had turned to hell

i dropped to the ground where Jason lay
on my lap i rested his head
without my love in my life
i would rather be dead

i reached down to his ankle
where i knew he kept his gun
i pushed the barrel to the side of my head,
and counted 3,2,1.
