save me from myself.

I've shot myself a thousand times
to save my head from thoughts
I wished to forget.
but they kept coming back.
till I met you.
with laughter in your eyes
and warmth inside your hands.
--I'm giving you the gun-- I said
--your turn!--
and put the trigger in my mouth.
but you said --no--
and with one word
you cleared my mind, my soul, my past
and started loving me instead.
