Revolver

Fiery dresses igniting dark emptyness
A smouldering bang takes the quiet
sick of yourself, need someone else?
For a drink and a drag get heat here.

It's pity or petty, you don't know or care.
What your mother taught you
went in one ear and came out wet.
It's truth or dare, 5 minutes in 6 shots.

1 will go off in that cheap party trick
if you're not careful,
bounce around the caverns of your skull
tearing memories with it.

Your muscles go hard under the cold.
Smoke to numb the fear.
It's cold inside too.
