A Shot Rings Out

by Bugg   Mar 22, 2008


He sits there on his bed
And he puts the gun next to his head.
"It will be over in soon, I'll feel no more pain
In this life I have nothing left to gain.
I did such bad things to her.
And now I'm taking my life, that's for sure.
I hope she knows it's for her that I only care
It was never my intention to share.
Drugs overtook my body and thoughts and mind.
To my love, this note you shall find:
'I'm sorry, that's really all I can say
I'm sorry I beat you and with my life, I will pay.'
To my brother:
'Take care of father and mother,
And tell them how much I care
But this life and I did not play out fair.
Take care of yourself and love your child
Have my motorcycle, but do not be too wild.
I don't want you to end up like me
That is not how I want you to be.'
Now that I have done and said these things
I will now rise up upon new wings.
Nobody knows that it's her that I miss
I still remember every single kiss.
I was always hers, and I thought she was mine.
But I got on drugs and all was not fine.
She cheated on me and I found out
When she owned up all I did was yell and shout.
Then I hit her for the first time and I could not stop!
I kept beating her until in my doorway there was a cop.
She never returned my phone calls
She kept me out, she put up these walls.
And now all I do is get out my drug kit
And I really just feel like shit.
This life is not worth living, I should just die!"
And with that his life ends with a bitter cry.

    The Kiss
    by Leigh Anne Dawson

    Wanting to be held, loved, adored -
    To be kissed
    Like lovers on a movie screen.
    Needing the reassurance,
    Those feelings of bliss . . .
    That can only be evoked
    By the passion of such a kiss.
    To feel the epitome of love,
    Not from words but a touch,
    Those butterflies in my stomach
    And those small cold chill bumps.
    So hold me, and kiss me,
    Show me once more
    What feelings are evoked in you
    When near the one you adore.
