the company we keep

A bleeding gun

gave the foolish glass heart

a black rose and a silver bullet

 

with unwashed hands

her took her life

and laid it on his bed

 

shattering the glass heart

into razor sharp pieces

all as black as the rose

 

but none as beautiful

as the lost silver bullet

he always breaks such things

 

in a ***** room

the broken bottles and lost hope

out number the conscious thoughts

 

up a spiral of broken stairs he climbed

carrying another useless life

casting it among the bottles and misery

 

laying the fatal black rose

in a million shards of glass

covering the blood of the innocent

 

laying waste to unwanted ruins

the bleeding gun

was always the fool.
