It's like playing Russian Roulette when I talk to you.
Each time, I'm the one
with the bullet in my head.
A trigger of a mouth and eyes like cross hairs.
I seem to always be able to walk away,
my whole body numb.
Once I was told I looked dead when I was with you.
They saw through the steel walls,
read my eyes like open pages.
I wonder why this was for the longest time, thought
perhaps it was the noose you tied
around my neck to use as a leash.
Maybe it was because your touch felt like hot ice on my skin?
Or maybe because you are a gun?
A gun load with one bullet in the chamber,
I'm the only one that can spin you,
and with my unluckiness
you go off.

PoetryIt's about my life in a way. A lot of my poetry stems from things I go though. And Unfortunately I only update when something makes me generally upset or overjoyed. I'm happy with whatever feed back.
