a gun stays steady, pressed firmly against my hollow skull.
my finger on the trigger, a million reasons to pull it, and one reason to stay.
-- you.
when i am with you, all the bullets disappear, and my gun lie empty.
you kiss my scars until they fade into the night under this painted moon; we watch each one become a star, illuminating the sky above.
your love is what keeps me warm on these cold nights, my love.
-- you take me into your arms, and finally, i'm home.
for you are the light in the darkness; the sound within the silence.
you are my lifeline
--- the one reason i stay.
