21 Guns

by @deneka-raquel

21 guns salutes this army heart of mine. A soldier, fighting to stay alive. Penetrating at all angles with hope to survive. Why won't you love me and let this heart thrive? 21 guns salute this army heart of mine. Succumbing to a love it will never know, Jumping in front of bullets because it seems right, Being a martyr seems better than being alone. 21 guns salute this army heart of mine. Made from titanium woven in steel. Strong enough to face any threat that comes near. But weak for the way that you make me feel. 21 guns salute this army heart of mine. 21 shots for you and me. 21 reasons I love you more. Even if it results in the death of me.
