The Last 12 Hours

6:02

I wake up next to you.

I stare at your sleeping face

So full of beauty and grace


6:58

I serve breakfast on a plate

You smile and lift your head

As I bring it to you in bed


7:34

I’m heading out the door

We kiss before I go

Which lingers a moment or so


12:01

My work is halfway done

The very thought of you

Helps me power through


4:33

I’m finally free

Off early, I head home

To the greatest love I’ve known


5 o’clock

I’m just about to knock

But off-put by familiar sounds

I sneak in to not be found


5:01

What have you done?!

I find you in my bed

With a different lover instead


5:02

How could you?!

Tarnish a love so pure

After all that we endured


5:19

I can’t believe this scene

Shocked by your disregard

I’m broken, shattered, scarred


5:23

Now you’ll listen to me!

As my sadness turns to fury

My mind is getting blurry


5:24

Time to settle the score

I fire one shot from my gun

Piercing the chest of my “one”


5:25

Though, you are still alive

I fall to my knees in fear

For the end is drawing near


6:07

You’ve ascended into heaven

Or more likely you’re in hell

With a secret I’ll never tell
