A Gun To My Head and A Noose On My Neck

A Gun To My Head and A Noose On My Neck

A Poem by Ryan Halterman

A gun to my head a noose on my neck,

Take it away make it stop,

Physical pain that never eases, never lets up,

Emotional deterioration,

Cry

Cry Cry

Cry Cry Cry Cry,

Until you run out of tears and the noose tightens a little more,

So alone....so lost....dying inside.

Take away my suffering if there is a god,

I am begging you now

Take it away or turn the volume down,

CRY

It doesn't help

Nothing does

A gun to my head a noose on my neck,

Death infects my every thought,

Perhaps my only way out,

My only cure,

Cry Cry Cry

I can't put the gun down its stuck in my skull,

I can't loosen the noose its been pulled too tight

Doctors give me relief then take it away,

Laying on my bed suffering

As they go about their day whistling as they walk,

Smiling and saying hello to their colleagues,

Not thinking of me,

With a gun to my head and a noose on my neck,

Maybe this is how it ends.....

with a BANG that nobody hears,

Or dangling at the end of a rope feet kicking

Clawing at the rope around my throat

Until my eyes roll back and I just swing there in the breeze,

An event that nobody saw,

A death that nobody really cares about,

They will all say how close we were,

What a great guy I was,

How much I meant to them,

How they love me so and will never forget me,

What a sad thing it is that I am not here in this world anymore,

What a deep and terrible loss they feel,

But where are they now?

While I am alive,

Suffering,

Crying,

A gun to my head and a noose on my neck.

Where are they now?

Finding excuses to get off the phone when I call and need to talk,

Because I depress them,

I always call,

They never do,

Cry Cry Cry,

Let the tears pool at my feet

Let them grow into an ocean and drown the world.

F**k em all ....drown in my tears,

You left me alone to cry them,

So drown in my pain just like me,

I'm such a great guy

Such a great friend,

They all love me so,

But I cry alone,

Where are you now?

When there's a gun to my head and a noose on my neck.
