Beating Bullets

I dreamed of a world with you singing to me,
You dancing
Forgetting that we were enemies

I dreamed this world while you pointed a gun to me
Bullets pointed to my heart,

Beating faster, not from fear but from your beautiful rage.

I dreamed in this world we did not have to fight
Instead we loved
Then you pulled the trigger
The bullet speeding towards me
Became our first kiss

Breaking through the air,
Spiraling to my beating heart

Circling in silence,
Tearing through my numb skin
Punctured through my chest
Snapping bones
Shredding muscles

And killing the pain

Of not having you
