10,000 Bullets

by Jersey D Gibson

Brittle skin and simple charges,
could I be this cold-hearted?
Cross the line leads down this path,
is empty hands all I have?

Gone a long way, can't go back,
dare to face me, or what I lack.
Tell a tale, pity me as well,
boots are draggin' down to hell...

I've forgotten myself
fingers feeling for something,
something that's not there.

I've lost myself
eyes keep searching, searching,
but I'm gone.


Memories float like rogue waves,
washed against the shores of time.
Plead me down my bloody hands,
again I find more than I can stand!

Whispers to me, lead me through this,
how can I see through this darkness?
Take your time, it's all I've got,
sowing seeds of distraught.

I've disappeared, yeah
gone and went away,
just label me most wanted.

I down and dead, inside
scars tell their tale,
can you see how bad I'm hurting?


Innocence is long dead
by my hand, fingers spread;
A path I stumbled upon
10,000 rounds ago.

The light I see belongs
to no long tunnel;
its' hellish glow
that I feel.


Broken, tainted
lies are stained, yeah.
Throw this rubbish,
in the grave.

Buried alive now,
tomb is erected.
Will I be remembered,
or rejected?

I've died inside,
soul came cancerous;
poisoned before my time.

I'm petrified, mal-aligned,
hell, I've been set aside;
look at me, quietly, as I die.

Tough stuff but it reads well. Nicely done!
