just let go

I held her in my arms,
As she breathed low, short gasps.
My hand over the gaping hole in her chest.
Tears mixing with the crimson pool beneath us.

A hooded figure standing before me,
Watching me weep over my love.
Gun at his side, seeing the blonde limp body,
Realizing what he had done.

I kissed her one last time,
Memorizing the perfect taste of her lips.
She whispered with her last breath,
"Just let go"
