I’ll Catch a Bullet for You

I’ll Catch a Bullet for You

Coming back from watching a movie we did talk,

Arm to arm we did walk;

Had we a great time?

Sure! We had a great time.

It wasn’t that too late,

Hmmm, it wasn’t early either;

Shush! Hey there, I heard from behind me,

Turning to see him, he motioned me come.

I need your GF. Said he

I chuckled and said “meaning”?

I said, “I need your GF”

Turn around and run for your life, shouted he at me.

He shifted the side of his cloth to reveal an object.

Hell no! That must be a gun.

I could see fear in her eyes,

She clenched my hand in a manner that said “don’t let me go”.

He pulled out the gun and pointed it at me

There and then I remembered telling her earlier

“I could catch a bullet for you”

Geez! Me and my big mouth

With adrenaline rising steadily

This was definitely an alarm stress response

Fight or flight! I needed an option

Time was indeed ticking away

With his impatience and my defiance, He shot at me

The bullet stylishly bruised my arm

Geez! This guy must be so drunk

To miss a target standing so close

With adrenaline upsurge I pounced on him like a wounded lion

We fought. Yes we did fight

I won. Yes I did win

Do not ask me how I killed him

She hugged me and whispered

My hero! You really caught a bullet for me

I was a notorious gentleman

I lost this before a drunken man

As I lay me down my head to sleep

Two thoughts kept on ringing in my head

“Is it right to fight evil with evil?”

“Is it not right to fight evil with evil?”
