bullet holes

By GoldenLotus

words are our weapons
and
we didn't choose our ammunition wisely

allowing fear to
control feelings
planting seeds of evil weeds
pollinating thoughts
with infectious disease

i was foolish to think
your love
was an antidote

that with you
this was something
i could control

that we
were stronger
together

that i
would
forever
never

say good bye

you wrapped your bullets
with shattered promises

loaded your gun
with lies

it's my turn
to pull the trigger
blow my fucking brains out
all over the paper

let bleeding hearts lie
my body's drained
my veins empty
no love remains
