Aftershocks Of Life

 

The gun is loaded,
The hammer cocked. 
I'm ready to fire,
Don't look so shocked. 
If only you knew,
If we had talked,
Maybe I wouldn't be here,
I would have balked. 
This idea of mine,
On which I am now locked. 
I guess I've said my piece,
On death's door I have knocked,
Knocked,
Knocked.
