Gambled With One Bullet

I'll leave you My Bones, Under all but two Upturned stones, I gambled with one bullet And five empty chambers, Spun the silver roulette And click went the hammer, The thoughts in my head Melted with the hot lead, It's all in the red All that I could have said, Resting in pieces My theories, my plans, my thesis, The unrest in my entrails Is no longer, like the pins and nails Behind my eyes Pointed towards the skies, At the last flashed my life Like the sharpest knife, Seared into my mind Now all on the wall behind, If I had chosen the crematory I would have no story...
