shot and killed

shot...
once in the chest
by her ex-boyfriend
who tried to run
was caught at an INS check-point
is now in custody
can only answer to muder 2
stupid rat-bastard
deserves
what he's going to get in those prison cells
it's so strange that i knew her
so strange that it couldn't happen to me
but it did
the name, seemed familiar
and then the picture put it all together
she was smart, i knew she was
she had potential
didn't even see her sweet sixteen
died in her father's arms
in her front yard
on a sunday afternoon
she loved to dance
dancer in the dark now
everything's so dark now
the world is tainted the color of blood
