the Hero's Gun

My hero pulls the gun on me
And sends a bullet to my knee-
I trusted him
I trusted him
I guess I trust too easily.

And oh, the chorus laughs at me
In mocking, harsh antistrophe-
I thought them fair
I thought them fair
I guess I think too graciously.

    That doesn't have a hint of reference to Firefly, now does it? Between that and a reference to Greek tragedies, this would be a pretty epic post...

    Glad you caught the Greek stuff (unsurprisingly), but I'm not following you about the Firefly reference...

    I...like this. Wow. Betrayal is a tough thing, even in a two verse poem.
