The Killer
By Mark Spencer

I've been searching for a killer
With notches on his gun.
And if I ever track him down,
His killing days are done.

His MO has remained the same
Since all of this began.
Each step I take in his pursuit,
The more I know the man.

Somehow he stays one step ahead
Though I’m right on his heels.
Each time the killer takes a life,
There’s more that he reveals.

I have almost caught up to him,
His days are getting short.
The killer’s next bloodthirsty plan,
Will be the plan I thwart.

For the wolf is getting restless,
He’s on the prowl again.
He has chosen his next victim,
The hunt will soon begin.

Yet once more, I arrive too late;
Another victim dead.
But I’ve got the killer cornered,
In the ally ahead.

As he steps out of the shadows,
I’m shocked by what I see;
Confronted by my darkest fears,
For the killer...is me.
