Still Wondering Poem by Matthew Cole

Still Wondering

Rating: 4.5


Starring down the barrel of a hot bedded 45

Just wondering...

What has my life come to?

As I lean back to forget whats happened

I let up on the guns safety

Knowing theres a single round waiting in the chamber

Slowly I raise the gun...

I release my finger of the trigger guard...

Just to put it on the trigger it self

As memories fly through my mind I start to cry

Trying to figure out...

What have I done?

I realize I'm not as happy as I want to be

I press my head hard against my pillow

Still tears poor down my face

As I remember the name...

I realize I can't give up

I made promises

I intend to keep

Crying like a baby

Trying to figure out what happened last night

I slowly put the gun down

As I let up on the magazine release

The magazine hits the floor with a loud bang

Pulling hard on the slide

The bullet ejects and falls next to me

I lay staring at the ceiling

Still wondering...

What would have happened if I had pulled the trigger?

I've been there and I decided that there's a reason for everything obviously it's not your time to go. Not doing it shows your strength. take care Wendy

why don't you cry out loud and burst your anger on something not harmful, am sure things will be in the right track. Keep cool instead and give yourself a break by PRAYING.

hey, the way you wrote the poem, it's like one minute a person tries to do something like that and then they realize what they are doing is not right..but very nice though.
