Kill Me Dear

The most incredibly ironic scene To everyone, it is quite obscene A scene where a lover has to kill Their soul mate, against their own will They were trapped in a wicked game One must die or it would be lame If they choose not to abide by the rules Then the world doesn't need more fools The killing weapon is a gun So that the injury cant be undone How is it you're supposed to choose When your loved one you can't lose? The two truly loved each other They can't settle for another Their code was always and forever Now, will it ever happen? Never! She wants them both to stay alive But she's in denial, both can't survive She doesn't know what to do It's just a dream, none of this is true She closes her eyes wanting to wake This cruelty she can hardly take She sits still and cries a river of tears Struggling to control her own fears He's already made his choice But he doesn't want to lose his voice The pain he's going through is surreal He wished, it, he could seal Facing his fears, he walks the line He convinces himself everything is fine Walks to her with all his might His temptation, he must fight He embraces her, he can't lie Because one of them has to die He can't lie and say it'll be okay Can't charm her with his usual way He pulls the gun to his head Logic from his brain has fled She grabs the gun and yells "no" The gun has become their mistletoe Felt like forever, a final kiss with an eternal bliss "But honey, you're the one to live Protecting you is all i have to give" He puts the gun in her hands "C'mon do it" is all that he demands He puts her finger in the trigger Pulls it, a small bullet with a, damage, bigger The shot, echoing still in her ear While he mouthed "kill me dear"
