Peace by piece

Steve

The balance is flawless, 
In the weight and feel 
For some may get hurt, 
While another will heal 

Cold steel so finely crafted, 
Like a piece of art 
The chrome reflects flawlessly, 
Even on the smallest part 

Every action so perfectly smooth, 
It's built really Well 
I've only to simply feed it, 
This shinny brass shell 

A shinny brass shell,   
A copper coated lead tip 
With in a millionth of a second 
Their marriage gets split 

The powder burns, 
So violently and hot 
Is it going to fail? 
most definitely not 

It's single job is, 
To push on through 
Fast and powerful, 
Straight and true 

The hammer falls, 
A lovely sound it will make 
So loud and deafening, 
You can hear hearts break 

The trigger gets pulled, 
The sprung hammer falls 
The voices keep taunting, 
That I haven't got the balls 

All of this dogging, 
That has been dared 
With each drink, 
I get less and less scared 

Nerves are getting tested, 
With each and every spin 
After each click heard, 
Another round will go in 

The time is ticking, 
But no telling who's 
One will be lucky, 
And the others will lose 

Russian Roulette is a game 
So this will be my last poem 
For I'm cheating because, 
I'm playing alone
