All By Myself

My life ebbs out onto cold tile,
I clutch at my chest,
Feel my heart pump for the last couple of times,
Crimson pools around me,
A knock at the door,
Concerned voices,
Go away,
Go away,
I moan,
Let me die all by myself,
Another knock,
I gurgle a response,
The gun rests in my lap,
My heart feels light,
I remember my friends,
Life and love,
Suddenly I don't want to die,
I cry out to those concerned voices,
The ones who love me,
But they have gone,
It's too late now,
I am left to die on the cold tile floor,
All by myself.
