Russian Roulette



Without thinking
And jumping into it
This eventually started
After much efforts made
To eschew from this

Like a gamble
This game started
Yes, this risky game of love
Indeed started
A Russian roulette I named it

She was pretty has a serpent
She carries a name after a mother of all
Eve! Eve was her name
She was a Jezebel over a thousand men
And she was still the wisest of all women

I never fall for love at first sight
But Eve’s sight caused it
Like an epidemic
Love overwhelmed me
Never knew I would later suffer it
And like an over-bloomed virus
Deep inside me
At first sight

Day by day
We started this game
We began this;
Lethal game of chance
We begin to spin this revolver
With a puzzle placed against my head only
But I was blinded by her deceitful
Game of love

Only a chamber is loaded in this
Six rounds revolver
We were lucky
To pull five empty revolver
At ourselves
But all my belief was this is game

Now the sixth day is here
And beckoning on us
The night before
Rapid eye movement
Was under our eyelids

I thought we would stop
This game of chance
Unknowing to me
Rapid changes
Overwhelmed my ‘gentle’ eve

It was her time to spin the gun
Fear now began to cover me
From head to toe
Water begins coming
From all hair holes on my body

She gave it a slow spin
That it won’t make a complete
Clockwise movement
It only made a thirty angle movement
And ended on me
She didn’t even think it twice
Before pulling the trigger
On me

I run into Eve’s game
Like the fish ran into the hook
My heart began to breathe out fast
That Eve sees it through my chest
I took my last deep breath
Before Eve’s bullet
Pierced through my heart
While shattering it
And leaves my lifeless body
Laying fallow on the floor
