Trigger

let me be the danger you carry around
darling place your gun on my head
pull its trigger when it feels too much
even if i'm hanging by the thread

I'm bleeding while lying on the ground
my imbecile lover's sword in my chest
let go of my hand and don't be my savior 
save yourself before heaven falls upon us

Reads like a film script. Could inspire the epilogue of a film. Spoken straight from an ailing heart. It's a good poem.
