Last Kiss Goodbye

The clash of bitter rivals, both guns blaring

With misty eyes, confronting each other staring

Into the bleak mist, gazing at the past they left behind

As they made mistakes too numerous to take in kind

They were once partners, lovers even

As they partook of the fruit of Eden

Their world crumbled around them

As the Father could do nothing but condemn

The actions of the many influence the few

As the bullets could never seem to stay true

True to course, true to one another, true

Until both of them were truly through

Through with the world they left to die

The many depraved with no tears left to cry

As the destruction of their home leaves them empty

Making the conflict of the partners seem petty

In tandem, they confront one another

Reaching across the aisle, from sister to brother

Their conflict had been left behind in a bloody mesh

The conflict being fueled by more than mere flesh

The two once-lovers warred for years

As the many were torn from their homes in tears

Pain unlike anything that was ever experienced

Was something that both of them now fully sensed

Their conflict had to end, but it could not end quietly

As the conflict between the two never ended silently

It would only silence itself momentarily, seeking privacy

As both planned to attack one another spitefully

Amounting to nothing less than the battle for a world

That no longer wanted them, the path unfurled

A fountain from which both connected through thirst

Would be the meeting place where one would kill first

A sly seductress against a ruthless soldier, with no release

But the release from a bullet could cause the heart to cease

Both stood at the fountain, their pain, anger, and fear a mirror

Where each paid witness to the attempt to pull the trigger

The sound of gunfire, the impact of lead, the smell of burning flesh

Both tears and blood falling, as the conflict they had would end fresh

Fresh in their minds, as they made an attempt on a once-beloved ally

As they drove the final bullet into one another as a last kiss goodbye
