The Markswoman

Take aim and fire away 
Headshots with the words you say 
Deadly accurate and im your prey 
You really got me good 

You can never take it back 
The consequence of your attack 
Self restraint is what you lack 
You’re not misunderstood

Your cruelty has me blown away 
What else am supposed to say? 

The sniper im tge dusky gloom 
Bulliet word “hind smoky plume 
Put my in my coldest tomb 
And lay this in the grave
