Gun

I cry
But my tears make people die
So many people hate me 
But I do not know why.
Because all people do is make me cry
Using the thing they hate most.
To stop someone from dying 
They make me cry
A pool beneath me
Of all of my tears.
Because so many people hold me 
Then make me cry

A poignant write! A gun in the hand looks like a toy but oh so devastating! Congrats, Crafton!
