A Life For A Love Poem by Rowdy Solomon

You put me at the bottom of your barrel...
As I stare down this one with the gun cocked back
You would think my life would flash before me, but only images of you
I guess that means you are my life and in a few moments... were
Why did you do this to me?
You could have at least let me down easy or explained
So now I'm going to let me down easy
And let you try to explain my suicide note
This isn't payback
Its pressure release
No more thoughts. No more sleepless nights and wonder
He won... I can deal with that
The images I have now as my grip gets tighter to this trigger is the two of you
Hugging, kissing, laughing...
So I'm taking me out of the equation
You minus me plus him equals love
Time to complete this number sentence
And let this gun exclaim to make my point
My time is up... period.
Love always...
I hope you're happy

(Pulls the trigger)
