Dark Thoughts

darkened moon
filthy room

five fast bullets
locked and loaded

perilous inches
from my head

fate is held
by my true loves' hand

Ooooh hope this wasn't "for real" for you !! I've been in that "filthy room" and I'm so grateful I never have to live like that again and won't have a gun anywhere in my life ... smile ... you really got to me with this one, Janetta ... good time to get grateful ... smile ... congratulations on this real life write being a feature this week!!
