Loser of the battle, winner of the warA Poem by Kaitlyn StoneYou're nothing but a bully. Brainless with words like bullets; you will never know of truth or love, because you never knew how to appreciate either. You shoot, and
shoot
as I smile, listening to the shells fall
to the floor, echoing in the dark. You're trapped; hiding in selfish skin
untouched by the warmth of my heavenly light.
In camouflage you laugh with a gun in your grasp and pills in your pockets.
I was not worth fighting for.
You shot the first bullet: my beating heart, bled because of you" while you stood by my side, watching me suffer. You flew across the sea to cause more bloodshed, coming home just to finish the kill. Since then,
I've dreamed of death less dreadful than your leeching love.
The truth is love and your love was a lie, so
I marched away from the field with my scars still pink and the sound of gunshots behind me. © 2012 Kaitlyn StoneReviews |
