This is the first thing I've ever written, started as a rap but I cleaned up some of the obscenities, In my head the backround music is a cross between Ed Sheeran - The A Team and a Pendulum remix of Plan B - Stay Too Long. I can't think of a chorus to add to it based on the subject or material, I would be grateful for any suggestions. I would also appreciate any feedback, either positive or negative.
Kisses
The story begins in much the same way the end came about
Two sets of lips pressed together that were fated to part
10 years elapsed from the first kiss to that of the last
A couples ill fated journey was about to start
She was floating on cloud nine after meeting a guy
His charm, looks and sensibilities gave her a smile
He even held the door for her as she walked by
He was the perfect gentleman to her at that time
Soon came the first kiss, the first embrace
It was still only their first time face to face
The story goes on to another time and place
Little did they think that their happiness might fade
8 years went by, a wedding and 2 kids did arrive
A son and a daughter, the apples of his eye
There was another addition to the family pile
A liquor cabinet stocked so he’d never be dry
He’s been working in the same role for most of his life
His performance takes a dive as his concentration slides
The odd drink at the weekend is now night after night
It costs him his job and steeps his decline
2 years roll on without work and he has since been on the dole
With lack of purpose he feels worthless to the core of his soul
Bottle after bottle starts to take a heavy toll
His mind and body separates, he’s losing control
That’s when the wildness and violence comes to the fore
The alcohol from the bottle soaking straight to his core
The qualities of the man she loves are clearly no more
Instead replaced by the venom from the bottle he poured
He accuses her of sleeping with the man next door
But he’s been happily married since 2004
There’s no reasoning and dealing with him when he’s so gone
So she tries to walk away but her time has come
He slams her to the ground with almost all of his might
Forgetting the coffee table placed in plain sight
He saw as her head bounced off the nearside
And watched as blood poured in a crimson tide
He reaches for her head but for a moment he’s paused
Frozen by the situation and the devastation he’s caused
He’s awoken by a noise much worse than a roar
The sobbing of his daughter through the living room door
His conscience finally opens up to soon realise
The dying body of his wife lies in front of his eyes
He crouches down on his knees and holds her head high
To place a kiss on her lips, his way of saying goodbye
The story ends in much the same way it happened to start
Two sets of lips pressed together that were fated to part
10 years elapsed from the first kiss to that of the last
A flame of life extinguished......... way too fast
