My Owner's Weapon

About guns or is it?

My Owner's Weapon

I am my owner's weapon

Primed and ready to fire at will

When pressed into his next victim

Strong and sturdy

Persistent and unfailing

When my owner weilds me

His victims suffer the consequences of his dark desires

I imbue my owner with power

With me, my owner becomes a strong tower

The weak-willed and weak-bodied are easy pickings for him

With one hand on my trigger and the other on their neck

My owner gives out a snicker, he knows it's a done deal

He singled her out, followed her home and cornered her behind closed doors

Pressed me into her flesh and unleashed the full force of my power

Quenching his neverending need to devour

Thanks for reading!
