The Murderess Poem

Midnight Matinee

By Grace Grant SilverPublished 3 years ago 1 min read
By A Single Sword Drawn

Lying there in a Gaze

Her life was such a Haze

Although she’s not there she’s Beat

Struggling to her feet

She’s Standing Amazed

Unlocked from her cage

Her Instincts are Rage

The time is night

The time is right

A cloak she adorns

With Jewels which are worn

people will mourn

At the break of dawn

The corpses they find

Are all in Bind

By a single sword drawn

She had to perform her Midnight Matinee

Masked when Destiny Dawned

The Murderess inside her

Had had enough of there scorn

The town went to sleep

They did not rise from the deep

As she had to perform

Her Midninght Matinee

Masked when Destiny Dawned

By a Single Sword Drawn
