The Loaded Gun

It started with a fling
It ended with a bang
With you
The loaded gun
And all the false songs you sang
Deceiving me cleverly
Preying on my vulnerability
No better smell than that of
THIS DESPERATE HEART IN NEED
Touching me eagerly
Heatedly meeting your poisoned lips I failed to see
Becoming lust’s victim
Caught too deep in the moment
Blind to this mistake screaming right in front of me
Convincing me of promise
That we were to become something more
But bang goes the lies
The bullets start to soar
Hitting me point blank
Blood spills on the floor
Lifeless I lay
Just another kill in your deceptive reality
Just another notch on that selfish belt of yours
But the greatest hunt has yet to be begun
All you have to do is face your reflection
And pull the trigger
Because you’re nothing more than a loaded gun
