I took a shot at “I love you”
but the bullet hit me instead
somehow, it split in half
and hit both my heart and head
my mouth was a trigger
and my thoughts were ammunition
the weapon was fully loaded
but there was no warning for caution
once the gun was fired
there was nothing I could do
the shot was heard around the world
but my whole world was you
I collapsed onto the floor
and nobody sounded alarms
I just wanted to be held
in your bare arms
you had so much anger,
enough to fill war tanks,
I tried to engage in combat
but I was just firing blanks
you gauged the aftermath
and claimed it was collateral damage
but the war was never fair
you always held the advantage
