Bullet from a gun

By midnights voice

 Bullet from a gun



I lived my life
like a bullet from a gun
racing down a barrel
from an explosive past
always smoke and fire and blast
then I moved on

In my haste racing away
I'm unconcerned
at whom I might have grazed
all my days I came
crashing into littered souls
oh what carnage , too

Once I left I was gone
awesome , strong
hell bent upon my ways
that destruction sent
cold Steel and hot lead

My nerves bled
and others too
through your flesh and heart
I pierced
with never a thought due

I lived my life
like a bullet
from a gun
cold , cold Steel . . . and
red hot Lead . . .

    And like a bullet from a gun, you can't call it back. Apt metaphore MV. I'm recalling a sick ad I once saw for Black Talon ammo: "to create a massive wound channel". Cheers! - Dan

    I've been a casualty of such people. So, I understand it from the other side. I love the imagery you conjure up with your words.

    also, the kid with the gun... there's something about his face that I find haunting... deep-seated angst, perhaps... makes him seem much older than I'm sure he is....
