The twitch of a finger
Can pull back my trigger
And shape a pair of lifeless eyes.
My sorrow's pang
Goes off with a bang,
And I watch as another dies.
The hands that hold me
Are the ones that control me
And use me against my will.
But they don't give a damn,
I am what I am.
I only live
To kill.

This is so amazing! A lot of people don't realize guns were made to kill and it's refreshing to hear something that doesn't worship the weapon but talks about its actual purpose. I loved the rhyme scheme and the word choice. I'm glad it wasn't too long, it got staright to the point! Sorry I keep going on, I just feel like good poems deserve praise :)

*shiver* Wow, that is truly incredible. It's voice is low and deadly and dangerous, possibly a bit cavalier as well.

She wants to die. She wants to disappear, to be remembered no more. She wants so terribly to be forgotten, all her mistakes, all her failures, everything. Her name to be wiped free from all record of existence. Because is it really existing when you&rsquo;ve got nothing to show for your life?

wow! this is really good Pad! 5/5 :D
