|
Pulling the trigger |
|
A shot would fire then he'd wake |
|
To red lips above him smeared |
|
With scorn and stale restraint |
|
She covered him with pity |
|
Like a snake about to strike |
|
And then pronounced him hopeless |
|
When he wouldn't do as she would like |
|
He's so sorry he can't feel remorse |
|
He tries to keep the helpless ship on course |
|
The blameless sky pales as a storm comes |
|
Taking it by force |
|
He's so sorry |
|
Flashes of justice |
|
After all she'd done for him |
|
For the first time she was quiet |
|
As he touched her moon pale skin |
|
They found him hours later |
|
He was talking to the gun |
|
Saying father please forgive her |
|
She has killed her only son |
