Accept

I love her.
She knows I do.
Yet here I stand
The cold metal
Held firmly
Against my head.
I begin to wonder
Does she love me?
She does.
I know she does.
We've clung to each other
Scared
For what's to come.
We've had our disagreements
But here we love each other.
The bond between us
An unbreakable rope
But it can be broken
By the cloud behind the eyes.
She doesn't know
What she's doing
Her hand doesn't shake.
She feels nothing
As she holds the gun.
I stand frozen
Knowing what's to come.
I don't question
I only follow.
I close my eyes.
The shot rings out.
And now I go.
