I feel the darkness enter my soul,
billowing up into my mind.
Thoughts of how my demise,
will set my being free.
I feel the cold steel of a pistol,
grasped in my sweaty palm.
Finger on the thin trigger,
with the muzzle to my head.
Ever so slowly I begin to squeeze,
wondering if this is what I should do.
The hammer falls and I hear a click,
next time I just may load it.
