Shotgun Lover

Wind me up like only you can

Fire the cannon, start the marching band

Tell me backwards, from the start,

All the ways you're gonna break my heart

Bail me out of your twisted truths 

Because the more you play, dear, the more you lose

Whisper harshly all the things you see

The reasons we clash so imperfectly 

You'll build the fire, you'll load the gun

But wont be there when the task is done

And it took too long for me to discover 

The way you tick

You're my shotgun lover

Kiss the lips that made you cry

Count the teardrops in my eyes

Write the story, back to front

Plan for scars and marks and burns

Write red letters on the wall

I crashed the car and you let me fall

Come dashing down this path before

But yet i'm running back for more

You'll build the fire, you'll load the gun

But wont be there when the task is done

And it took too long for me to discover 

The way you tick

You're my shotgun lover

Author's Note

for the boy who I tortured, and who tortured me in return with our back and forth and manipulative games over the years. I'm glad you laid down the gun when you did and that you are now happy. I am too.

I felt the pellets of your gun,tear through my flesh gaping holes in my soul...and when you were done and I recovered I was not the same man, or lover. Nice writing!!

I believe you want to say "lose" not "loose". Anyway....the heart wants what the heart wants even though you know how its going to end.

Wow. That was awesome. I felt like I was in the troubled relationship. I love the comparison of a loaded gun and a hot but not so healthy relationship.
