Love Is A Bullet Wound


I'm closing in

 

Just like a gunshot.

 

Catch the bullet
 
Between my teeth
 
Then swallow it down
 
Like a pill.
 
Drown out
 
All the lies
 
Then see the world
 
Through my eyes.
 
You don't know
 
How I feel.
 
Walk a mile
 
In my shoes
 
But they
 
Will never
 
Fit You.
