Shoot.


Place the gun,
inside my mouth,
then turn your head,
and blow it out.

Rid yourself,
of this pain,
get rid of me,
don’t worry I,
won’t bleed in vain.

Take a breath,
we’re in too deep,
no turning back,
put me to sleep.

Place the gun,
inside my mouth,
hear it click,
draw a breath and,
make it quick!

Pull the trigger,
don’t take so long,
pull it now,
and just move on!

  2. Powerful, my friend. And sad. And disturbing. And strangely decisive. You have a way with words!

  4. Something I’ve been meaning to ask you: Where do you find the pictures? They go very well with your poems.

    • Thank you very much Gabriel. Yes, I spend a great deal of time choosing the perfect pictures for my poems, sometimes it takes hours to find the “one” that feels right, sometimes even days.
      Most of them I’ve found on deviantart.com and a few I’ve found with the help of bing.com. πŸ™‚

  5. This is so very sad!
    I’m sorry you’re having to go through this.
    But maybe they feel the same way? Knowing you’re going away, they are just waiting for you to free them?
    Well, no matter the relevance to your life, this is beautiful poetry!

    • Yes, it’s sad, but in a way it’s bittersweet as well.
      I can’t possibly know what the other feels, I can simply guess. All I know is that the last conversation we had was hard for both of us and each of us had to stay strong and fight the tears, there is no denying this. But we had an open and honest talk and I was told, that the next time we’ll see each other will be the last time. I was told that the other needs to be selfish now and keep a certain distance already, because otherwise it would hurt too much. I understood. I was then hugged tightly and I was told that no matter what happened it was the best summer and that I was an amazing person. I don’t know, even though I was promised this wouldn’t be the last time we’ve seen each other before we part, it surely feels like a farewell to me.
      I asked if I acted selfish by letting this relationship happen, even though I knew I had to go abroad soon. I was told no, because the cards were laid on the table right from the beginning. But still, I find myself whispering “I’m sorry!” each time I think of this sad look on that face. I really wish I wouldn’t be causing such heartache already. I don’t care, if I suffer from it, I just want to spare the other this stinging feeling. And yes, the next time we’ll meet, I’ll release them and tell them not to even consider waiting for me.. it’s not worth it. Who knows? Maybe there will be a second chance some day..
      Thank you for such a great compliment! β™₯ πŸ™‚

      • You are an amazing person. It is difficult not to be selfish. And no, you weren’t.
        You are soon going to be abroad. You will learn that it is important to make connections right away if you feel something (I experienced it in friendship but I think it is true in romantic relationships too). When you live abroad, there is always a chance that the other will have to go in a short while. Maybe a month, maybe a year… If you let the short time get in the way, you never get close to anyone and you lose out on a lot of living πŸ™‚
        You deserve every compliment you get. πŸ™‚

  6. Your pain is very real… πŸ˜₯ it is okay to feel the pain… get mad, cry, weep, scream… feel all pain till you get numb to it… but the best revenge is to move on and let the person feel… you can live without her… πŸ™‚
