Loaded gun
locked and loaded
kept close to your body
for when you’re afraid
or mad
you attack,
Your loaded gun
are the words that slip out of your mouth
effortlessly
why are you aiming at me?
see that I am not your enemy
Sabotaging those who love you
painted the confines of a box
exit sign flashes scarlet red
for that’s what you wanted all along
Darling, I pack my things
running.
don’t look back, I tell myself
out of breath, out of mind
chance to start anew,
new season, new feelings
damage control needed
For the loaded gun perforated
your so called happy ending.
