Hotel Hospital

He motioned to me from across the street 
  His arms waving madly "Come over to me" 
  I saw the panic as he approached 
  We both ran quickly to the house 
  Where the windows were shot out 

  He lay there bleeding on the floor 
  My mother beside him screaming "Dear Lord... 
  Someone shot my boy" 

  I held his hand 'til the ambulance came 
  And onto a stretcher they took him away 
  I followed close from the car behind 
  The lights and the sirens both dull in my mind 
  November 9 

  Killed by a bullet from a jealous gun 
  It rattled his eyelids and pierced through his lungs 
  The damage is now done 

  He was seem by her lover the night before 
  Swearing to kill him outside her door 
  To her defense my brother walked out 
  Raising his fist and screaming "Get out... 
  It's me she's with now!" 

  Hotel hospital the tears burned my eyes 
  I slipped into nighttime and deep into dying 
  Without even trying
