SOMEONE COMMITED A CRIME LAST NIGHT
THE PLOICE WENT OVER TO INSPECT
BLOOD AND TEARS WERE ALL OVER THE FLOOR
AND THE VICTIM WAS A CRYING MESS
''HE QUIETLY SLIPPED IN,''
SHE EXPLAINED TO THE POLICE
''HE WAS AWARE OF MY VULNERABILITY,
AND HE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME.''
''WELL, WHAT DID HE LOOK LIKE?'' THE POLICE ASKED
''TALL AND ATHLETICALLY BUILT WITH DARK EYES,
FULL, TANTALIZING LIPS,
AND A SMILE THAT RESEMBLED THE SUNRISE.''
''GET HER A TISSUE,'' ONE OF THE POLICEMEN SAID
AS A TEAR TRICKLED DOWN HER ALREADY MOIST CHEEK
A WOMAN WHO HAD ONCE STOOD STRONG AND INDEPENDENT
NOW LOOKED SO GLOOMY AND WEAK
WHAT HAD THIS CRIMINAL DONE?
TO MAKE HER NEARLY LOSE HER MIND?
SHE HAD TO HAVE SEEN IT COMING
OR WAS SHE THAT BLIND?
SOMEONE COMMITED A CRIME LAST NIGHT
AND THE LEFT THE VICTIM ALL OUT OF PLACE
SHE WAS SNATCHED AWAY FROM ALL HER VALUES
AND FORCED INTO A DARK, SORROW-FILLED SPACE
THE VICTIM TORE HER SHIRT OPEN
FOR ALL THE POLICE TO SEE
THERE WAS A GAPING WOUND ON THE LEFT
AND ALL IT DID WAS BLEED
IT BLED THE MEMORIES OF SWEET KISSES
AND THE MOONLIT WALKS ON THE BEACH
IT BLED THE TIMES WHEN THINGS WENT WRONG
AND THE LOVE BECAME BITTER, NO LONGER SWEET
''I WAS DECEIVED AND MISTREATED,'' SHE SAID
''AND HE PROMISED ME HEAVEN ON EARTH.
BUT HA BECAME SOMEONE I DIDNT KNOW,
AND HE TOOK ME FOR ALL I WAS WORTH.''
THE CRIME THAT HAD BEEN COMMITED
LEFT THE VICTIM WITH AN UGLY, PERMANENT MARK
THE CONNIVING, EVIL CRIMINAL
HAD STOLEN... THE WOMAN'S HEART.
