Evil is replaced by the beauty that remains
I shift my paradigm on a drop of a dime
Just to rewind the time but I’m a second too late
She lifts her harm grasps her hand around the barrel,
Finger on the trigger and she states:
Forgive me heavenly father, for I have misbehaved
I didn’t love him, and I truly wanted to wait
But as the world rotates a little faster, each and every day
I lost touch of its orbit and he made be pay
________________________________________________
Paralyzed by indecision; to catch the bullet
Planned for incision to block out her vision
Or, watch a beautiful creature fall before the ashes
As her body crashed emotionless before my feet
_________________________________________________
Her arm tightens up and her bottom lip quivers
Believes that she’s a sinner so she proceeds to execute the endeavor
A single tear falls on the cracked rooftop, beaten down by rays of sun
Barren, cold, and futile, like a battle that cant be won
________________________________________________
Just an hour ago I was walking down the street
Morning coffee smile and the wind behind my feet
I tense my legs in runners pose, but my efforts are muffled
By the subtle motion of a finger stroke
__________________________________________________
Smoke drifts soddenly out of the barrel,
a heat wave rises even with the horizon
Another wasted life, that was sure to peril
Fallen victim to the darkness of the world in which we live in.
12 years old could barely ride her bike or date
Stole a gun from her step-father
The same one he uses against her on the night she was raped
