Shot Down

blazing overkill
attacking inner depths
savagely i ride
weathering 
the storm

galloping 
on the crest 
of waves
unfurling high winds
battered and torn

russian roulette
revolving
rolling in the chambers
lead heavy
spinning circles
upside down 
pulling on feelings

emotions explode
burning fire
in depths
shot through
the heart

death 
to a lovers emotion
love lives
in you died
