one last character
Wrapped in the curtains of night
On swift, quiet feet
She reaches her destination


A cat like creature
Scaling building walls
Black spandex suit
With nine inch heels
Breaks through window’s seal


Fire-haired goddess by day
Grim’s messenger at night
Flashbacks fill her mind
Memories that made her this kind


Mother’s disappointment
Daddy’s little girl
Gone astray
How she has lived for this day


Pulling the mask
Over her angel face
Silencer in place
Bitterly, she reaches for her piece


She has one chance
One shot
This has to count
As a silver bullet
Enters his brain


Man hater by circumstance
Unremorseful bitch by choice
He thought he had the final word
But she had the final say


After watching him fall
Pieces of his skull
Fresh on the wall
She slips back down the hall
Never a footprint
Nor trace
Could be found in her place
As the sirens start to blare
