“You Finally Defeated My Smile" 7/27/2012 #New

“You Finally Defeated My Smile"

Yep, you finally defeated my smile.
I held on for a while but now,
I submit to "loneliness".
Your persistence,

 Led to a victorious battle.

The crown,

Can now rest firmly in your lap.

I wait,

For what I pray to be a swift "execution".

A swift date with fate.

Yep, you finally defeated my smile.

I observed you each day,

Playing Russian Roulette with my "emotions",

Slowly watching me decay.

I don’t recall,

You ever pointing the gun at yourself.

I guess I always knew,

There was no hope left.

Yep, you finally defeated my smile.

I realized the destination of our relationship,

Years ago.

When you truly love a person,

It’s hard to “Let Go”.

As the sharp blade completes decapitation,

I see white horses,

My body is no longer warm,

We made our own choices.

As the blood starts to squirt,

The pain disappears,

And no longer "hurts". 

The End
