Oh, Cheri

It was April, the sun wasn’t out
People were working and when they got out
They heard

It was unfortunate and it was unplanned
Too simple to misunderstand
She put signs up in the windows that we passed

I’m sure you shot first but how did it feel
To shoot second?
Tragedies converged and deaths did collide on that night
Cops all around your house
Surrounded by mounds of reminders that you threw out the window
Jumping the gun
They refused and ignored to your door with an authority to do so

Oh Cheri
Oh Cheri
No more
I got a tiny little lump in my throat
Except when you opened that door
You had a [?] and no where to go
You were confused with all the things that you hated
They said you needed medicated
But everything is buried
The stars are falling down
