Blue Eyed Boy

I looked into those big blue eyes

and my heart was yours...forever.

I sat on a log in a cold January night

with nothing on but a nightgown

listening to gunfire from the backyard

from your gun

and remembering the sound of your voice

hard and cold.

I think I will kill you.

I looked into those big blue eyes

and knew.

Forever isn't a hell of a long time.
