Drop Dead, Love Poem by Lory Dugger

Her finger was on the trigger,
The gun stuck in my mouth.
The tension slowly grew bigger
And so did my doubt.

'You're not going to' I tempted.
She growled and pushed further.
Maybe I shouldn't have tested
but I wanted to mess with her.

She was my first love,
I was another one of her sheep.
Will I ever experience true love,
Before she sends me off to sleep.

She put the gun away,
A smidge of hope went through me
This wasn't my last day,
Which was very confusing.

'I'll let you off this time'
Her words echoed in the room.
'May I ask why? '
'I think I'm in love with you.'

I gasped but she just smiled.
At first I thought it was a dream.
I couldn't believe my eyes,
when she bent down and kissed me.
