    Russian Roulette

    Close your eyes and count down til there's silence
    You and the projecting sound of the spinning barrel
    Spin one and a click rings in your ear
    Spin two and another click is introduced

    Open your eyes in disappointment
    Wondering why you're still breathing
    Take a break and try again
    Hold your breath and pull

    Spin three; I guess it's not a charm after all
    Spin four and you're close to giving up
    Spin five is right around the corner
    But once again nothing has changed

    To call upon one you love and can trust
    And the first thing you think to say is
    "IT DIDN'T WORK!"
    A shock to the heart and a tear mid-air

    Confused about what just happened
    A moment of silence just revealed all you did
    I could have lost you; a most valuable treasure
    A life almost stolen from a bond that has always been destined to keep safe

    Poetry is finer and more philosophical than history; for poetry expresses the universal, and history only the particular.

    Aristotle (384 BC-322 BC) Greek philosopher.
