Meeting you was like an assassination The moment you spoke I felt the recoil Point blank shot between the eyes In one instant I was alone Plenty sufficient at self-mutilation I was content To wander alone in my own thoughts My personality cold Chilled by the ice of the desolation Of unreleased sorrow One minute I am still Content Meandering hopelessly in my world Then there was you Your first word was a slug Dressed in copper it sank in Sending shockwaves through the gray matter I took the hit My skull accepting the whiplash and allowing me Some semblance of strength to move I had no chance to heal before I was hit again Your touch was electric A million volts multiplied by the fluid That is your glowing stare The sound of my name on your tongue Becomes a garrote Taking my breath from my lungs I can’t speak in your presence All that I was because to die away The lonely man who sought shelter In the desert of loneliness Blown away Bleeding out in the back of my mind All who I thought I was Gone In the blink of a muzzle flash Meeting you was like an assassination The man I was Destroyed Some other man sauntered off that day Someone I don’t know yet But am striving to figure out

Assassination
Meeting you was like an assassination The moment you spoke I felt the recoil Point blank shot between the eyes In one instant I was alone Plenty sufficient at self-mutilation I was content To wander alone in my own thoughts My personality cold Chilled by the ice of the desolation Of unreleased sorrow One minute I am still Content Meandering hopelessly in my world Then there was you Your first word was a slug Dressed in copper it sank in Sending shockwaves through the gray matter I took the hit My skull accepting the whiplash and allowing me Some semblance of strength to move I had no chance to heal before I was hit again Your touch was electric A million volts multiplied by the fluid That is your glowing stare The sound of my name on your tongue Becomes a garrote Taking my breath from my lungs I can’t speak in your presence All that I was because to die away The lonely man who sought shelter In the desert of loneliness Blown away Bleeding out in the back of my mind All who I thought I was Gone In the blink of a muzzle flash Meeting you was like an assassination The man I was Destroyed Some other man sauntered off that day Someone I don’t know yet But am striving to figure out
