love

You yell and scream
And call me names
Like I'm a worthless man
Unworthy of your hand
You punch and you kick
And threaten my life
All I can do
Is bleed out and cry
The person I once knew
Is so far gone now
The love of my life
Has turned into a demon from hell
I don't know if you care
Or see how much I try
As I weep uncontrollably
Through my black swollen eyes
I can still remember
What we once had
Before you went
Stark raving mad
Your blatant disregard
For my love and sanity
Tells me once again
It is time for me to leave
And as I hold up this magnum
Up to my head
Hammer cocked back
Ready for the end
I think of a place
In the back of my mind
And remember what life was
Before you were mine
I open my eyes
And lay the mag on the ground
Uncock the hammer
And sit on the ground
staring at nature
It becomes clear to me
That life is beautiful
Without you near me
I look down at the gun
Then I look up at the sky
And find a feeling of peace
As I watch the birds fly by
I'm alone again
A distant feeling yes
Wanting to crawl back to you
And give you a kiss
I know I will not
Be in your arms again
But I will still love you
Until the very end
