Love Roulette

A game of love roulette,
Is a gun that's fully loaded
With finger firmly on the trigger
This guns already exploded.

Through the smoke and sulphur,
Your target has been hit
You got me straight in the heart
Now you'll never make me quit!

Love is stronger than a bullet,
Firecer than a gun
Love is more determined
And warmer than the Sun.

So shoot me many more times,
Shoot me at your will
Shoot me until your out of bullets
Until you've had your fill.

For no matter how...

Wailing in the distance
The shrieks of a dying heart
Trying to be dignified
After love tore it apart

Howling in the darkness
As the night provides a screen
Running from the humiliation
Hoping to not be seen
 
Crying in the moonlight
As midnight comes creeping in
Wishing I was invisible
As my head begins to spin
 
Degraded by the embarrassment
Of the heart worn on my sleeve
Telling you words straight from my heart
Words you refuse to believe
 
Flirting with the notion ...

Imagine if you will a plum tree
Luscious and draping with fruit
Offering free food, all you can eat
No slot for your hard earned loot.

Just nature looking out for her colleagues
A branch upon which birds can perch
To rest their weary legs and wings
As they take a break from their daily search.

A post upon which we can lean
The plum tree supports us with pride
Her roots are deep and sturdy
She offers shelter for many to hide.

Free food throughout her season
A home for squirrels to rest
A safe shelter for...
