[hometext] => It's meant for a song. Dark, but very emotional as well. Well, I guess the title suggests something...
[bodytext] => Sometimes it takes some time To remind myself why Sometimes it takes courage To say to you, good-bye And I wonder why you didn't stay You didn't pause You didn't say That much at all... The gun is still smoking Reminding me of words I didn't say My tears, they keep soaking And the gun is still smoking away Sometimes it takes love To convice you to pray Sometimes it takes trust To give a life away And I wonder why you didn't scream You didn't cry You didn't bleed That much at all... But yes, the gun is still smoking Reminding me of words I'd meant to say The door always closing And the gun is still smoking away Sometimes it takes pain To forget your memories Sometimes it takes death To wipe the slate clean And I wonder why you didn't try You didn't move You didn't cry That much at all... The gun is still smoking Reminding me of loves I've locked away My throat is now choking And the gun is still smoking away I couldn't bear to see you there Standing, looking lost and scared And suddenly, I knew I couldn't Ever make it true And did you know That shot was meant for you? And I wonder why you didn't cry You turned away You said goodbye So easily... And the gun is still smoking Reminding me it's better off this way Nobody blamed, nobody framed I'm not in your way... My eyes are crying My heart is breaking My soul is aching My mind is trying My eyes are closing My throat is choking And the gun is still smoking away.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
