I lie awake in our hotel bed
It's pitch black
Then....
I hear a set of wheels
Someone's pulling up
That can't be good
And it never is
Soon,
Gun shots ring out
More follow them
Behind me
She says
"Just stay down."
I comply
For fear of my life
Then she gets her gun
I know this part too well
I shut my eyes tightly
As I hear more gun shots
This will be a long night
Then....
It goes quiet
They have left
I open my eyes
The wall has holes in it
Now
She's asleep now
I can rest easy now
Or can I?
