SHOOTING BLANKS
I’m shooting blanks into the day, when I
can’t have my way, and talking to myself,
Of pain, of bitter truth, and lies. I cry,
And leave a stain, a heart in pain – yes, both.
Then love grabs hands, “can’t we just get along?”
My knees drop low, to beg, forgive - he laughs!
Tis all a joke! I’m played as fool! I aim
my hate into his eyes, this time no blanks.
It stings so hard, he falters sweet. I laugh!
This time he cries. He hears me say a line:
“why man, can’t we just get along,” - to mock!
Bang, bang! Your dead! And I am not. I walk.
