Click. The taste of salt trickles over the top of my curled lip, The strength seeps from my eyes. Staring into the abyss, Trying not to lose myself. The fire burns inside me, Bathing my heart in indecision. The Darkness caresses me like a lover, Touching me with its sadistic glee. My finger on the trigger. The cold iron in my palm, The sweat pushing it away. I look into his eyes, Heartless and cold, Full of lies, Lies of regret. The devil whispers into my ear, Everything I want to hear. There is no going back. One love lost, Another found. This man vanquished her from this world, Before her time. Life’s a bitch, I’ve always been told. I finally understand, It’s a cruel world. This man should know that. He took her away from me. His pleas, His regret, I’ve gone deaf. The iron in my palm isn’t so cold anymore, The sweat is holding it in place. The Devil whispers into my ear, Life’s a bitch. Click.
