Stuck

Two in the room.
Shining metal.
Glistening drops of red.
Silence;
But for the sound of a pounding heart.
No movement left.
And then...A twitch.
But it means nothing.
The life is gone.
Knife drops from shaking hands.
Terrified eyes look down;
Unbelieving.
Is it a dream?
No;
Reality.
Two in the room.
One wide awake;
Sweating.
The other...
Cold,
Still.
A prayer;
"God! What have I done?"
