LOVE LETTER

LOVE LETTER

Please point your gun at me

If it helps you relax

I know I'm only seventeen

But you see me just as tax.

My life hasn't yet begun

Yours has been going on for a while

Aren't you supposed to know better?

And not let your gun write me a love letter?

The other day, I was waking up

Worried about my math exam

But today feels a lot like a scam

And kids my age feel like unprotected lambs.

It might not be our favorite place

Yet at least it was still safe

And we knew

We would make it home that day.

Weren't you supposed to protect us?

And trust me, I know you don't want this discussed

But you were supposed to be saving lives

Not making us wonder who survives.

I hope you can sleep at night

Knowing your taking our hearts

Because you might only see blind

Tonight.
