Guns are symbols of violence, power, protection, and control. They are cold, mechanical, built to cause damage - not to feel. But what if something so unfeeling, so built for war, could weep?
In love, this could represent a person - perhaps someone who has shut down, armored themselves with emotional steel, someone who's been through battles, losses, betrayals. Someone who believes they no longer feel, or that love is weakness. They've become a weapon - for survival, for others, or even against themselves.
But then love comes - real love - and it softens the trigger. It reaches past the gunmetal exterior and finds the trembling hands behind the weapon. And suddenly, the impossible happens:
The gun cries.
It weeps for what it has lost, what it has destroyed, and for all it wanted to protect but failed to. It weeps because it remembers how to feel.
