Hold still, my love.
Don't try to escape.
Don't utter a word
Or you will die.
Hush, my angel.
Don't open your eyes.
Don't shed a tear
Or I'll give you
Reason to cry.
Silence, darling.
If you dare scream
If you dare cry
Then I might feel pity.
And I want to hurt you
Without regret
So be quiet, dear one.
Do not test me.
For you don't want
To see me with a
Nervous trigger finger.
I might just kill you.
So close your eyes
Pretend to dream
And imagine this bullet
Is your key to freedom.
I will bind your hands
With the black silk cord
That you used to tie me down
Every time you raped me.
And you will cry
The same harsh words
That I screamed out
When you struck me
For your actions
And poisoned poetics
Hurt more than the bullet
I'll be putting in your brain.
Thus, I keep you under watch
Until your eyes plead with mine.
And then, I will know that it is time
To put you in the ground forever.
Author notes
Option B.
The scenario in this poem is not real, but more a figurative explanation of what is happening between me and my ex. The act of pulling a gun on someone is used to indicate the act of getting rid of him, once and for all, and letting go of all the horrible memories associated with him, everything he did to me.
