You looked over at me
A smile crept upon
your porcelain face.
So breakable,
yet adorable.
My heart quivered,
as the silence disappeared,
and turned into a gun piercing your skull.
I looked behind, to find no one there.
I came towards you as the blood came gushing out,
and all I saw was your face.
That porcelain looking face,
so breakable,
yet adorable.
Then my eyes moved to your hands,
and as you fought for your last breath,
you said you would never love me.
Now the love is gone,
and I saw the gun in your hands.

My last real relationship ended badly, and thinking it was all my fault, I tried to make things better. It ended up turning out to be his fault. That's when I decided all of the stuff that happened, happened because of him.

I liked it, and I think i just got it. The gun in his hands is symbolic of the blame that you lay on him for the things that went on during your relationship? Wow, that's a good metaphor. Mind checking out some of my work?
