Pull the Trigger

(I'm having a bit of trouble trying to format this in the way I wrote it, so I took a picture of the original to show you guys how I originally wrote it. I feel like it's important to the tone of the poem. http://imgur.com/share/i/61mqw2S

As I twiddle my thumbs and recall my past,

I remember a man of horror and sin,

a man most disgraceful,

a shame to his blood,

a shame to his kin.

Soon, however, my glory shall be restored,

As I walk, fear put aside,

into welcoming floors.

Greeted with grace and elegance I see

a girl,

such peaceful eyes...

a stunning bright green.

I shut my eyes and muster all my courage

as I draw my weapon and point in her direction.

Time stops.

This girl,

so innocent, so peaceful...a horrified glimmer in her eyes.

a weapon, so dangerous, so shameful,

Sweat trickles down my sides...

as every

last

drop

falls

to the

floor.

I pull the trigger.

My heart stops.
