What a woman does to a man

A ricochet,
Piercing the plans made..
Bounding from wall to wall
While I dined on my dinner.


With breaking glass
I forgot what happened before
And sit among shards tonight,
Staring out the door.


And a bullet still spins
In my wall,
Shot from some gun out there,
I can still hear it.


At one time in my life I was a solitary man.
I'd fry my steak and make mac 'n cheese,
Sit in my chair and watch TV.


Then, a shot rang out. 
And now I'm dodging bullets.
Or, I'm trying to get shot.
I'm not sure anymore.
