My heart is racing madly.
I cannot think that clear.
My tears blue my vision,
and I ache with fear.
My world has turned upside down
and every glass is half-empty.
I shiver with strange apprehension
and I close my eyes tight.
When will I be rescued?
When will sunlight come?
Fear causes me to be frozen
as I watch the scene ahead.
Screams, and punches and
then I see a glint
What little sunlight that
there is causes me to see
the weapon of cold hatred
pointed right toward me.
Maybe I could get away
but I am still frozen.
I close my eyes
afraid of what I know I shall see
I hear the pop of the gun
as the trigger is pulled.
But then there is nothing.
