There's Blood

A lovely young lady with a winning smile She and friends; out on the town for a little while Young friends checking out the scene; having fun See and be seen; each hoping to meet a special someone Across the room, stands a handsome lad But as some lads are; this one is bad This saucy lass has a wicked wit She turns on her charms, flirts a bit The gantlet is thrown; in this courtship dance Young lad invites her to go for a ride; take a chance Out in the country along a darkened route Not a soul to hear her scream; nor hear her shout He took much more than she was willing to give Then takes her life with his long bladed shiv Now there is blood by the side of the road where she lay Another young beauty; ravaged; lo savaged And simply thrown away Depravity

Frank and moving - thanks for not turning away from the ugly realities of the world. It's good to be reminded.

I thank you for commenting on this write. I thought that I may be a bit graphic. I also wrote another along the same lines called "Lucinda". I invite you to view that also.
