I Know He Has Killed Women

The hair raises on the back of my neck Validation I look at him Knowing he has killed women I saw their dead naked bodies when our hands touched I give a gasp He looks into my eyes hard I know that he knows that I know His eyes are black Darker than a computer’s CPU They stare into my soul God save me I think I give the man his change After he leaves the store the other check out girl says He has always given me the creeps I keep my thoughts to myself; God will get him.

I know that feeling though. There was a family in my neighborhood, I could just tell by the way the guy leered at me and seeing him with his little girl that he was molesting her.
