All This Way Down (a Mentalist ff)
Aug. 5th, 2012 12:55 amTake a breath,
Take it deep
He breathed in. Slowly and steady.
There it was, fancy and glossy in his hands. The weird feeling tingling in his fingers.
Calm yourself, he says to me,
If you play, you play for keeps
Yeah, not that weapon he'd planned but gotta work.
But still it was making his skin crawl.
Take the gun, and count to three
The sound of the trigger rolling...
I'm sweating now, moving slow
The buzzing of its powerful mechanism.
Still so tempting...
No time to think, my turn to go
Not his style though but what if...
And you can see my heart beating,
You can see it through my chest
His thoughts trailed away. Back to that day...
Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving
There was that same temptation... Slow and painful. Mocking him so uncomfortable...
I know that I must pass this test,
So just pull the trigger
He looked at it over again... His fingers slid over the trigger...
Say a prayer, to yourself
It would be all so easy. One motion and over...
He says, close your eyes,
Sometimes it helps
He'd be with them again...
Talking and hugging...
They'd be all one happy family again...
And then I get a scary thought,
That he's here means he's never lost
Just so little thing to do...
And you can see my heart beating...
You can see it through my chest..
But that meant he won't catch that bastard. And he won't get to pay...
Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
But the closeness of his family led his fingers over the trigger once more...
... So just pull the trigger...
As my life flashes before my eyes
I'm wondering will I ever see another sunrise
So many won't get the chance to say goodbye
But it's too late to pick up the value of my life...
Another glance, another touch...
He could feel the power inside...
The thrill...
And you can see my heart beating,
You can see it through my chest...
Said I'm terrified, but I'm not leaving...
I know that I must pass this test...
So just pull the trigger...
But not today...
He put it back into the drawer and turned the lights off...
The End
Just something I once had in my mind after watching an episode, listening the song and reading some fics....
