I've heard that love is like a loaded gun
And someone else has always got their finger on the trigger
You walk a fine line when you start to fall
And just like a hostage under the cover of darkness
You forget your place
You forget the meaning of subtlety
I know that hurting someone
is a strange way to say "I like you"
but it's true
Yes, love is like a loaded gun
If you're not careful, if you let your hand slip . . .
This is something best left to the adults
This is something best left to the thrill-seekers
A little love was too much for me
Yes, love is like a loaded gun
or should I say
it's like a game of Russian Roulette
where every chamber is filled but one
You know someone's gonna get hurt
but you don't care
because you're just young and stupid enough
to take a chance on putting a bullet through your head
Just for a moment to feel alive.
I wrote this a couple days ago. It's actually the first creative thing I've written in a long time. I'm . . . still not much of a poet, obviously xD Well, I try.
