ten paces at dawn

Today
I will live
One last time
I tell myself
As I clutch the revolver
I try to hide my fear
No one will suspect
I loved them
I wish I would have been
Better at this
Don’t understand
Those around me
Because
Memories fade
Eyes struggle to open
Before
My heartbeat slows
Light
Into
Darkness
My eyes
Close
My eyes
Darkness
Into
Light
My heartbeat slows
Before
Eyes struggle to open
Memories fade
Because
Those around me
Don’t understand
Better at this
I wish I would have been
I loved them
No one will suspect
I try to hide my fear
As I clutch the revolver
I tell myself
One last time
I will live
Today
