A Bullet for the Gods- by: the damned
Walking through the underbrush
Brushing through the branches
He's got a gun in hand
With no intention in mind
He's a long long way
From where ever he should be
He's got tears streaming from his eyes
For a girl he lost the day before
She's done and gone
Moved onto a better man
Peering up through the leaves
His thought is
"To myself I must be true,"
On the outskirts of town
Of a place he once loved
He's wandering the fields
Looking for something he never knew
"What am I in this world?"
But now all the tears are gone
No more crying, no more denying
What once was himself
Is now a picture of only rememberance
He's got his things
Only what one needs
And he's fighting himslef for a reason to believe
"Dear, please believe me
But I just couldn't help myself.
Here in this place,
All alone, with no one else,
I make my stand."
The wind blows his hair
As his knees give way
In the mud beneath
He breaks down again
"Should I get up,
Or relish in the absence of myself?"
Dirty fingers twitch in the cold
Struggling simply to keep hold
On the gun that lays loosely in his palm
On on grander level unkown
In the same essence
To hold on to what he does have left
Into the sky he raises his arm
To the ground he lowers his head
His body cold
The sun behind the clouds
A blast is heard in the distance
And where he kneels
Gathering his things
His only lonely self
He heads back into the trees
Walking through the underbrush
With nothing in hand
With one intention in mind
To get a long long ways away
From where ever it is he was
His eyes are now shock dry
And he just walks
Stumbling through the woods
