Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 In the Wake of Divorce

My next door neighbor and I chat

Across the fence, we do a lot.

Suddenly, the neighbor falls flat,

And's dead from a single gunshot.

That shot was meant for me no doubt.

My ex keeps trying to kill me,

And the reason is all about

The psychopath my ex does be.

The police are aware of course,

But my ex is police too.

Ever since I got my divorce,

There's nothing the police will do.

Recurring nightmare I have, yup,

I'm still alive when I wake up.
