Finished

A Poem by Amy

She looks in the mirror and all she can see
is the person she was never meant to be
the smiles are gone
the eyes are empty
the call of the gun was so tempting
she runs her finger over the metal
one pull of the trigger and things would be settled
she picks it up with one question on her mind
how could life be so damned unkind
she thinks of her past and all the pain
maybe she really has gone insane
she puts one bullet in the gun
as she does she thinks of her son
all grown up with a family of his own
will he even realize she's gone
as her hand shakes she c***s the gun
pretty soon this will all be done
a tear rolls down her cheek as she sits on her bed
thinking of all the people she's loved that are dead
all their images flashing in her mind
she wipes the tear away and knows it's time
raising it up she can't catch her breathe
and the next thing she seen was death.
