Silly me (you won this one)

by derek garner - Virgo

I should've known better.
your declaration just had 
to be stronger than mine
afterall you were the loudest.
sista girl!
 never mind logic, reason,
common sense and the like,
you had emotional ammunition
cocked and ready.
pow!
now I'm bleedy from this 
hole,
right here in my left soul,
and you're standing over me
with a smirk,
barrel still smokin'.
I tried to talk
but your gunshots drowned me out.
black woman?
your self-defense claim will
surely sway the jury.
afterall you were the loudest.
silly me.
I just had my own opinion.
