Trigger Half Pulled

by Sean Dohr   Apr 7, 2006


In the chamber lies his fate.
Himself, a bullet, and the gun...
The pistol is his final mate,
he has nowhere left to run.

Releases the chamber with six slots,
the bullets in, the gun is cocked.
Only one bullet, only one shot,
this is the end of being mocked.

Puts the gun up to his head,
all pain and emotions annulled.
Realizes that this can't be the end,
leaving the trigger half pulled.

    Your poems are so varied, so original and completely unexpected.

    I enjoyed it immensely.

    Wow. Draws the reader in excellently, and builds up to release the tension in the last two lines.

    he has no where left to run.

    nowhere should be one word.

    Other than that - awesome poem, One of the best I've read so far!

    Peace. [Sole]
