Was there boredom in your life
Is that why you put a bullet
In your cylinder
Gave it a whirl
And aimed at me

Did the monotony creep over your bed
And sink into the sheets
Absorbing the heat and passion
Leaving ice and shadow to encase you
Robbing you of the fire once there

Was I exciting
An adventure you'd never been on before
Something dangerous like a game of chance
A gamble with life
Respinning the barrel daily and dragging it out

Yes, it was exciting
Beautiful as gleaming steel
Leaving the sheets a smoking barrel
Swelling hearts with shards of love
Until bursting and breaking

I have become your bravado
A half secret
A trigger with the safety off
Ready to fire
Ready to ignite

But, I have become a misfire
A blank
Waterlogged
Abandoned in a lifeless forge
Cold as steel

You are playing Russian Roulette
With my heart
Each day is a chamber
And I wake every morning
Wondering if today is the day the hammer hits the bullet
