The Target

forever is a word
often said
and
never meant
yet often heard

when
it lands
inside the
targets mind

it sets off
a train reaction

you can see
light
in the targets eyes
and you
become shocked
when
a smile
washes its way
onto the once
emotionless face

alas
when it is used
with glib preperation
you will find
on closer inspection
bullet wounds
have pierced each letter

on their way
to destroying
and then murdering
a once happy
loving soul
