Fighting against yourself

Gripping it tightly,
A memory of you.
Like throwing a ball attached to a string,
Your face keeps coming back.
Struggling to make ends meet,
To make you see me,
For what may be the first time.
Like fighting a loosing battle,
The outcome is inevitable.
You've been branded in my memory,
Like a scar,
That doesn't allow anything in,
Not even sunlight.
There is only one way to remove you,
By removing myself.
With the barrel of a gun,
Pointing to the back of my throat.
No, it's not worth it.
I remove the shotgun from my mouth.
I hold my breath,
But my oxygen deprived lungs only fight back.
Suddenly,
As if a message from God,
You softly touch my shoulder.
As I turn I am greeted,
Not by the usual smile,
But by a tear moistened face.
What have I done?
What was I thinking?
I dont want your memory to fade,
For it is what keeps up together,
Even when we are miles upon miles apart.
It's what gives me a hug when you are out of arms reach.
As I wipe the tears from your eyes,
A single tear forms and falls from mine.
You smile,
Ohh how I love your smile...
