The Gun

"The Gun"

A friend once told me,
the story of a man
who loved a woman.

This woman was
everything he'd
needed,
and more than he'd
hoped to find.

One day
she left him.

Broken,
he put a gun
to his head.

She still doesn't
love him,
and he now has
half a face.

I turned out
not to be her,
but him.

I'd rather be
the gun.
