Closure

The stench of cordite burns my eyes
Your brains smeared on the wall
I'll never hear your daily lies
Or observe you as you fall

Your hands are red from potting plants
Your face looks like a sloppy joe
I put the pistol in my pants
But before I turn and go

My mind drifts back to better days
When first our paths converged
When love and lust were all the craze
And our bodies often merged

At last my soul is free of you
The closure I've been needing
Your skin is turning shades of blue
And you've already stopped bleeding
