The God Damned Gun

this confrontation
is more than i can handle
these expectations
are over-running my life
your honesty
is killing me
so tear me down
and burn me out
wipe away these pitiful tears
cause i cant bear to see you cry
I'm worthless to you
and you're everything to me
so why don't we share the cost
of that god damned gun?
darling, it's just a game of
Russian roulette.

Wow! A powerful message. I really like the following two lines: I'm worthless to you and you're everything to me ~ It says so much ~ so much honesty. Thanks for sharing.
