Hungry Lucy

Telltale Shot

Hungry Lucy


Lying in bed 
With a gun to my head 
I am slumberless 
Memories seep into fathoms of deep 
Disillusionment 
Pillow of red 
Futile thoughts never said 
It's all gone 

Take it away 
This sadness 
And pain 
Heart grown cold 
Through tales of old 

Funeral feast 
Bringing violent beasts 
To the parlor floor 
Fortune and fame 
Will not be quite the same 
It's an open door 
Nothing to give 
Nothing to get 
Make it stop 

Did you hear her 
Pull the trigger 
Never knowing 
Blood was flowing 

Down 

Poetry page 
Showing nothingness 
And rage 
Death is my home 
Where I shall roam
