Title: The Last Supper

Poem: Bitter steel bitten - my last welcome meal
Bullet with purpose - my last breath to steal
Trigger is fondled - my final fair mistress
Dark pill of death - only cure for my sickness
Nightmare to some - my sweet salvation
Few grasp my aching for anti-creation
Eyes close with lips, with finger to thumb
An inch between pain and the freedom to come
Crack of the chamber - the silence I seek
Fumes of the barrel - Judas kiss to my cheek
With everything lost, what can be won
But the ecstasy found at the end of a gun?...
