He turned the corner
And stopped.
He stared into my soul
With crazy, hazel eyes
I kept a straight face
And stared at him back.
Slowly, he raised the gun
And aimed it at me
I saw it all come
This is it
I took a deep breath
And closed my eyes,
Then opened them.

"Want to know something that's absurd?
There's a word that I've said
More than any other word,
It's sorry,
I'm SORRY,
And I pray that my word was heard"
I yelled down the hallway,
Hoping someone could hear me.
