real endings

i've spent my whole life creating perfect endings

i never saw this coming



it's dark

and my eyes rest on the brightest of

           symbols

light up chili peppers strung across our bed

"our" love full of

red.hot.passion

you said

        fast to start

painfully fast to end

at least for you

             leaving with no goodbye

you could have offered to stop my heart

before you brought on the pain

          who am i kidding?

i would have felt it anyway

                              you designed

                                  pain

                             to hurt like this

here i can be candid

and open

thanking you for the bullets

you so

passionately

supplied



i suppose the red hot light up chili peppers

don't stand a chance against

my steady

        pumping

              blood



this is how a

trigger happy

little girl

get's rid of

                          you



i hate this ending almost as much as you're going to hate cleaning this mess



too bad real life ends so

                              suddenly



never like

i

want

it

too



                if i were crazy

                          you'd understand me better
