Firm grip to steady my handle
Fixed the nozzle against my temple
No second thoughts
No hesitation
Squeeze.
A quick flash of light cast shadows about the room
Then concealed to the darkness just as quickly
Explode.
Shattering the stillness of night.
I've settled the war within
Once waged on a battlefield of emotions.
Silenced your ever present voice in my head
The catalyst of my confusion
"Thump" is the sound as the pistol hits the floor
Everything goes numb
Everything fades
But there you have it
Plastered against the walls
All the emotions you claimed I never felt
All the things I failed to say
…You're welcome.
Fixed the nozzle against my temple
