nothing

“I have nothing for you, i can't love you, when I can't even love myself.”

I watch the shadows on the wall as your shadow walks away from me, then hesitates

A bit of hope fills my stomach but you just turn and say

“Ya know i've been hanging on, but you lost your mind a while ago. Maybe the shots wont ricochet next time.”

I watch your back right up until you walk out the door...I hold the gun in my trembling hands,and pull back the hammer. The metal tastes funny in my mouth as my tears fall down my cheeks.
