Hollow Point

My attempted suicide fulfilled…
Blood forever flowing
Time forever slowing
I am willing to die
For reality is a lie
The world swirling by
Hollow pointed at my temple
What happens next is really very simple
I pull the trigger
Misfire, go figure
I rack the slide
And take the ride
The Hollow disappears
As my gray matter smears
When the hollow is erased
Another must take its place
The struggle is over
My soul is over
The darkness swallows me whole
As my brain gains another hole
Finally peace at last
Coming from a powder blast
