Array ( [sid] => 113989 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Another Emblem of You [time] => 2006-01-30 13:48:15 [hometext] => ~To all the victims of domestic violence and harmful relationships~weepingprophet [bodytext] => How simply I have let myself believe
that the two narrow chambers of choice
are on my side-without doubt-

your hand resting warm
in the comfort of my disregard
turns bitterly cold with truth
as the steal handle of the shotgun
trigger raw from the scraping
of my insidious fingers
becomes another emblem of you

I question the honesty
of the chambers
silently, tearlessly
I study what I believe in

the presence of time spent
shows the reality
I casually overlook
these two narrow chambers
of choice, are lying, inevitably

that you my dear double barreled shotgun
are unable to render me into finality

the blink of those green
shallow ponds
is as sharp as the burning
bullet searing through the flesh
in my chest

how simply I have been deceived
the two narrow chambers of choice
have never been in my favor
they are tools for themselves
loaded and ready for wounding

casually now, I set down
the disaster and its peices
never to look you in the eyes
again, and question the honesty

you will remain a vast avenue
a trigger raw from my fingers touch
but never graced with the pull of finality

a shotgun of deception
I will cover you in flannnel shards
to erase my prints on the face
of all your lies

Wow, wtf. Good write. I had to read it twice to get it right (i think). I like the concept behind it. Parts of it seemt to run together, but as a whole I think it's groovy. (^_^)b
