Cocked And Loaded Poem by Spiritwind Wood

Doing my time and paying my dues
caught up in my midnight blues
hid behind my black and white hues
only to see my shadow through the sun

Stepped out to forget my shoes
doing the this and forgot my do's
thought it could only get better
but I found myself in the stormy weather
standing without my hat or a coat

I let the tongue slip to slit my own throat
when my ship would no longer float
thought I could win only to lose
on the decisions I would choose

I thought I would give love a chance
but couldn't handle that endless romance
when she took my heart
and stoled my soul
all I could do was watch her go

I saw the Devil waiting to dance
when I stood there in a trance
thought my time had finally come
when he pointed at me and said welcome

Thought that this world would change some
when I seen it come all undone
but it was only the start
to what has already begun
to all that has already gone
now cocked and loaded like a gun
