14. One Shot One Chance

3 Weeks (One Shot, One Chance):

3 weeks.

- (Seems like forever)-

3 weeks of tunnel vision.

- (Nothing else matters)-

3 weeks starring down through this visor.

- (Lost in that night so long ago)-

There one moment.

- (Veiled in shadow)-

Gone the next.

- (Stealthy Assassin)-

One shot.

- (Aim true)-

One Target

- (Body of my hatred)-

One kill.

- (Destiny fulfilled)-

No Spotter.

(No need)

No partner.

(No one to lose)

Just me and him.

- (Our cursed bound)-

This war between hearts.

- (Beating together)-

This war born of betrayal.

- (Sins long past)-

This war I can finally end.

- (Atonement at hand)-

Hands stained with mother's blood.

- (Memories that haunt)-

Heart pulsing chaotically.

- (Lightening flashing like it did that night)-

Finger steady on the trigger.

- (Relax, Breath, You can do this)-

The Nanos ease the nerves.

- (Products of New Age War)-

Just one shot.

- (Don't miss)-

One chance at salvation.

- (Justice must be served)-

I close my eyes.

- (This moment of fate)-

Begin to pray.

- (Forgiveness restrained)-

The sound of a gunshot echoes in the night.

-(Is it over)-

Eyes open slowly.

-(Can it ever be over)-

Relieve sets in.

-(His soul set free)-

Heart beat slows.

-(Tears fall)-

One shot.

-(I did it)-

One life.

-(A touch of remorse)-

A life for a life.

-(No room for compassion)-

A score settled.
