Black Hole

I push two fingers against my temple 
cocking my thumb back, wishing it was a gun 
wishing so hard, I become the bullet. 
I pull the trigger and fly down the barrel 
colliding with myself, imploding into 
paradox my eternal soul becomes 
oblivion, the true death for a God. 
Finally eternity has lost its sting. 
Endless memories will haunt me no more; 
numberless days of pain cease to be. 
Friends, family, love, no longer exist. 
Did they ever really exist at all, 
and could I have done this to everyone?
