Knuckles drain to a ghostly white,

Clenched around blackened steal.

Breathing colder than the night,

Slowly forgetting how to feel.

The bitter smell of gunpowder

Lingering throughout my nose.

Sharp echoes growing louder,

As the blood gradually  flows

Though all other light grows dim.

Heartbeats throbbing with regret

Teardrops falling down to him.

Ice trickling though my veins,

Because of the blood I have spilt.

 Knuckles drain to a ghostly white,

Clenched around blackened steal.

Breathing colder than the night,

Slowly forgetting how to feel
