The Standoff

Somewhere in this game of egos

I was shot or was it you?

I can't seem to tell, i'm so confused

I know I see blood, someone's bleeding

and from the pain i'm feeling it must be me,

but I look at you and see that you are bleeding too.

Then I noticed a gun in my hand and one in yours.

These guns were not filled with bullets however only

harmful words.

We both pulled the trigger, they lied, words do hurt.

sad poetry
