She spies the barrel
Hand on her heart
She weeps
The ordeal
The pain
The suffering
Crash! Boom! Bang!
Three times it goes
Then eerily quiet
The wonder
The what
The why
She lays there in crimson
Motionless
He walks
Away
Without a care
Who’s next
She lived for him
Died by him
Forgotten by herself
Remembered by me
He did it
The Silencer
Silenced her
