Love Poem: Why

Why

That 45 to your head,
what were you thinking,
my emotions in dread,
you pulled the trigger,
in the blink of an eye,
but the worst part of all,
is you didn't just die,
your body held on,
like you decided not to go,
as we all stood around,
are hearts in a woe,
we waited around, for 911,
there was nothing to do,
because it had been done,
they finally arrived,
a little past two,
but it was to late,
for you were already through,
you held on,
for a long,long time,
until finally from heaven,
God, rang his chime,
taking you home, 
to make you whole,
and I knew in my heart, 
to save your soul.
