Once upon a time stood still,
assurance wilted,
uncertainty lilts
from forlorn to guilty,
what will she choose
the velvet noose,
the jagged truth,
russian roulette
with two bullets left,
labeled, bereft,
designed for bloodletting,
let one in,
let the chamber sing its victory,
as history swallows the other,
silver heartbreaker,
make up your mind.
