ROULETTE

Sometimes I feel surrounded by triggers

That confine me into this body

that you understand

And I'm not certain

That this ammo 

can contain me

When they estrange me

from the woman

that I am


With this adrenaline rush

I should probably be sprinting

To some olympic haven

In my world

Must I surrender to lusting love

and poignant interest

Of staying in this prison

as your girl?


Should I call 

or text you?

Would I cheer

 or vex you?

Am I there

Or next, too

Aim

Straight

and don't miss!


The Russian did it

without a kiss

And Russian Roulette

is best played by Russians

Because Russians 

Are excellent at their game


10 years and counting

And I'm still thinking

Rosulschi-

That,  is an excellent 

Russian name


Sometimes I feel surrounded by triggers

But I'm not worried

Because  I am certain 

that you 

will miss
