Bryony Sheldon Poems

The gun is loaded.
Warhorse thunders towards the front,
Straight towards the void.
...

Turn the knife and you will see
The truth behind the tragedy
Of pain.
...

I stand there, helpless,
Watching, useless.
All I can contribute is a scream
Lamenting the horrific scene.
...

Got a life full of lies
And a face full of bruises
Her only choice
Is never what she chooses
...

Getting reckless like a backer losing fast,
Sweatin' bullets ‘cause you know that you can't turn back,
In a panic, sprinting, ‘cause time is all you need.
Watch out everybody- there's a madman on the street!
...

A pile of broken bones
And a sweet copper taste
Shoulda stayed at home
Coming out was a mistake
...

I'd like to say he looked sad,
Or a little guilty, even,
But I knew that in that present moment
He couldn't feel a damn thing.
...

Fire away
Fire at will
Shoot to live
Shoot to kill
...

Jaded, disconnected eyes,
Scanning for material pleasure.
Misfits, telling only lies,
Pretending it'll get better.
...

These membranous wings of fate
Fly me through this torrential downpour
I'm upshifting at half-past eight
I have nothing to slow down for.
...
