He knew his soul was sick when it started aching.
He knew his heart was failing when it started fading.
He knew his life was fleeting when it started to leave him behind.
He lies awake.
3,4,5am
Still awake.
Soul aching heart fading as he watches from his apartment window as couples come and go.
Sharing the embrace he yearned for so badly.
Hearing words meant for others ears, that he needed so urgently
6,7,8am
His alarm goes off.
So does the gun.
