The Victim

?

No!

“Why?”
She asked

“Was it Me?”

The policeman stared.

“hand over your phone, please, lady.”

“Can you tell me why you were walking alone at night?

She looks helplessly around the bare white room; there is no help, there never is, will be.

yes, it's often this way. I just saw a good show on this theme called Miranda's victim, the story behind "miranda rights" He was a real scumbag

Sadly it is the way far too often, thank you for reading, some of my poems are not always easy reading.
