the silence breaks the noise; <br />dark and fearful <br />as shadows consume the light <br />and the sun that shown with radiance; <br />bright and guiding <br />has been swallowed by the night <br /> <br />tears stream from eyes; <br />sad and lonely <br />she reaches for the gun <br />screams are muted for the silence; <br />long and hopeless <br />made her decide her life was done <br /> <br />the single bullet in hand; <br />cold and silver <br />thinking the choice she's making is right <br />looking for the second bullet; <br />hurriedly and desperate <br />she thinks for a second: she never thought she might... <br /> <br />placing the pistol at her neck; <br />scared and shaking <br />soon of her life there would be none <br />the gun shot breaks the silence; <br />loud and echoing <br />with this, out from behind a cloud peeks the sun.<br /><br />Lauren Phillips<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-irony-of-despair/
