What I mean is


Your words are bullets


Lodged in a place


That is supposed to be growing flowers


They live in my ribcage


Right where my lungs are supposed to be


Right where my heart used to be


But you don't notice


You just keep shooting


And shooting


And shooting


And it's not fair


Because you took the gun from my hands


Before I could even learn how to use it


Because that's what you do


You just keep taking


And taking


And taking


And you keep shooting


And shooting


And shooting


You don't care that I died a long time ago


You just want to shoot


And so that's what you do.
