Love is a Murderer

Her heart is filled with holes

From bullets previously shot

No emotion, dark and cold

In the pain she’s eternally caught

Through her ever-present darkness

She see’s his glowing face

His features like a sweet caress

His eyes are like the rain

His mesmerizing smile 

His alluring eyes so deep

Entrances her innocent, mind of a child

And her heart is his to keep

His words like sugary honey,

Dripping from his lips

And now no amount of money

Could free her from its grips

She thinks they’re in love

She thinks she’s got it right

She thinks the one she’s dreaming of 

Will end her endless night

But she cant see through his charming looks

Or through his endearing beckon

His murderous past, his bloody hands,

And behind his back, the weapon.

And when she’s closest to him

When she’s given him all she’s got

When to every “please” she’s given in

Then you hear the shot

He leaves her lying broken,

Dying but not dead

All the times she has been hurt

Fill her aching head

The gun wasn’t aimed at her chest

But through her heart it surely shot

Staying strong is always a test

No matter how many bullet holes you’ve got.
