My Russian Roulette

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.
