Trigger

cold triggers my only resting
been my only friend
held me too close for comfort
until i reached the end

whispered in my thoughts
played games within my head
convinced me of my downfall
said i should be dead

told me id need bullets
but i ended up with one
placed into position
cocked and turned the gun

trigger in my hand
playing rusian roulette
finally went off
to pass my only test.
