Loaded Gun

I killed him

aimed a gun to his head and cocked it

fingers steady on the trigger

all he did was stand there, so still

eyes aloof as if in a crazed dementia

ready to take it like a man

he wanted to be set free

I’m already dead anyway, he said

you wrecked me all ready

killed us

i don’t do it for you anymore

my one eyed dragon no more breathes streaks of fire

but striking daggers of ice

so just finish me off please

and I obliged

I killed him
