Poem: "The Killer"

"The Killer"

When the dust has settled
and the screams of agony
has subsided
the moonlight shining

He reaches out
and opens the trunk
gazing at her
lifeless body

How she adored him
with his ocean blue eyes
and disarming smile

The woman now gone
burned brightly
like a dying star
streaking across the sky

Her face
now bruised
her body
now battered

As he draws his gun
still smoking
putting the barrel
to his head

He shuts his eyes
and allows a smile
to creep along the corners
of his mouth

Dropping to his knees
he pulls the triggers
and waits for
death's embrace

Like an impatient lover
he swoons in brutal reply.
