Suicide

The last sight she saw
Was the moon reflecting off the gun
As she closed her eyes and tried not to think
To finish and be done
The last sound she heard
Was the hollow, solo shot
Ringing clear throughout the room
Thus, with one twitch of the finger,
One world had ended
And another’s to crumbled into hell
One fatal decision
Too many hard times
One worn out soul, drawn to death,
Seeking nothing but salvation,
A place to rest from tiresome hardships
Of her present life
The fist thing I saw
Was the moon reflecting off the gun
As I my hands flew to my mouth
And my heart jumped to my throat
The first sound I heard
Was my knees thud to the ground
As I collapsed
Next to a cold body I’d loved so dear
Whose life I’d tried to make brighter
Whose fire I’d tried to keep burning
Only to find it doused by water
Embers of grief are the only remains
In that one instant reality turned to fiction
My life lost all meaning
I had failed with no second chances
Nothing would be the same
No memories can bring her back
No tears will reincarnate
The spark in her eye
I once stared upon so fondly
A fatal decision
And too many hard times we could’ve gotten through
Ended her world
And shocked mine
Now, embers of grief are the only remains
