Today I shot a gun. I aimed at the middle of the heart stared down the lane took a breath and fired directly at the target. The target didn't have a face or a name It was a blank canvas And I painted your features onto it And God, Oh god... did it feel good to fire at you. Six-year-old me would've been proud for doing what you should've done years ago. Now my target looks like your heart. Full of (bullet) holes. f.m.s.

you should've never aimed the gun at me, "Daddy".
