She said "I do" with Revolver in hand

By A Life Without You

.









A view...


 

 Only made available to wondering eyes

 



I hung your picture carefully in the closet-


Next to the black tuxedo,

         ...with the nickel size hole through the left chest pocket.

 



I appreciate the irony

you provided for this exhausting ride-

         ...Its been a crippling example,

          ...through a day-in-the-life of a picture perfect lie

 

 

An        ...unfortunate first attempt



 

Your love laced lead gave you away,

When our lips became fixed-

         ...A finely pressed bullet riddled garment

               ...A reception that ends at the edge of a cliff

 



Arming myself with promises

I've failed to include

 



Only made available  to wondering eyes

 



...A view

    Very visual, which is my fav. It's also a story largely untold as I find myself yearning for more. Great write. JD

    This was mesmerizing. So many visuals pushed into my skull. I enjoyed the structure you used, think it added a lot to the chaos. Nicely written and thank you for sharing.
