Liar

I see her howling hysterical head flung back, shrieking, teeth exposed. A pink, truthless tongue protrudes from That mouth. Bitch. Bent over her desk, tan leather limbs Almost brushing hers, the sickening shadow. My breath comes out in quick, hot puffs. The misty window screams at my gloved touch. His fingers snake over her left hand. Glinting gold and diamond Suffocated by sin. Shaking, I squeeze the trigger.

I would make the first stanza four lines and give -bitch- its own.

I think you can lose -glinting and move suffocated by sin up. I'd also like ahint as to who is catching the hot lead.

hope that helps.

In agreement with intransit - bitch needs it's own line

who gets the lead - I would like to think it's a suicide, a point made, a final thrust of guilt.

Nice work, shady and direct.

Wow, somebody came in the door who makes good comments, who makes any comments, who comes in the door, who exists.
