He sees it coming
I know he does
He's smart
He always has been
Even so
I don't see it coming
The bullet from my gun that sinks into his flesh
I look into his eyes
I wish I hadn't
But he at least deserves this
My gaze as his life slips away
The look of betrayal
So clear on his face
I don't see the hand
Extended from my own body
To push him backwards off the pier
And he falls
Mouth gone slack
Hand reached out
Maybe to reach for me
Blood fills the water
As my best friend leaves me forever
Not able to stand it
I blink
And he's gone
