Only For Her

by Mel

By 'Lissa StufflestreetPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

the memory of you;

burning in her mind,

keeping her awake -

all hours of the night.

the memory of you;

pained by

the barrel of a gun.

your gun.

pointed straight at her,

as if she was

the chosen one.

pointed straight at her,

as if she had rsvped

for your company.

the most pained part-

you only used it on her;

not the others at the party-

only her.

the barrel of your gun

only had eyes for

her;

the others,

they were nothing

compared to

her.

the obsession,

the tragic love story,

only having eyes for one,

for her;

that was only just the beginning.
