Coldhearted Criminal

COLDHEARTED CRIMINAL He met her at the train station She said she was leaving town Having ended a bad relation There was no need to stay around He convinced her to stay the night Trust me, I know a way To make everything alright When seen in the light of day She took him up on his plan Together, they left arm in arm He seemed like a sincere enough man What could be the harm Six months later, she's penniless Into drugs and prostution Life had become so meaningless Was this then her retribution Where was he who seemed so kind This man who stole all she had How could she have been so blind How did things become so bad There's no justice for her to regain The wonderful lilfe she once knew There's only the hurt and the pain And it could easily happen to you The man has moved to another town To prey on some innocent soul His actions make him a criminal How can he be so cold Genius or Criminal
