Ashes

Once I shot myself,
once I shot myself,

and I bled and cried and die,
and wondered why-ed.

Living with the pain
of she not loving me
was just to much to bare.

I can live with this hole in head,
and 
I can live with this hole in foot,

but I can not live with
this hole in heart
as I pointlessly exist.

Take my ashes
to a place far away,
the last place I did live,

for my cold dead empty heart
has nothing left to give.
