Starring Down the Barrel

by Lindsay Ann - Gemini

Immediately wipe my tears away
You don't want to see my pain
I don't even blink when it happens
Your eyes were open too
And now I bite my lip 
The one you'd rather kiss
But people say I'm strong 
So I pretend
I finally learned how to cry
And I can't figure out 
how to stop
Sick to my stomach
Sick of my body
And you're sick of what?
Me? Crying? This.
Pull the trigger and say
You hope it doesn't hurt me
But you and I knew it would
And since I told you to fire
You obey, as I would too
But you will hold the gun in one hand
And wipe another tear away
While getting ready to aim again
If you want to shoot the gun
Don't aim at me
          anymore
I heal too fast.

Reason for writing:

    Me and my boyfriend (at the time) had a very bad bad relationship. Turned out he was a bastard. 
p.s.  Don't get me confused with this other Lindsay chick.
