Tears of Blood
Was just past
The streets were active that night.
People everywhere
A celebration of summer’s beginning.
Her cries, they were so faint.
A back alley
I found her lying there all alone.
Was just past
Her virginity they did steal.
Stabbed several times
They left her to die as well.
Dark shadows covered her well.
Her clothes torn
Her tears were filled with blood.
Was just past
I called for help fearing it was too late.
Waited seems like hours
I sat with her, trying to comfort.
Her tears of blood, I gently wiped away.
Help arrived
She had already whispered her last wish.
Was just past
They said she was only sixteen.
No identification
No one would ever miss her.
A last wish, I did promise to honour.
Claimed her body
I buried her with the respect she deserved.
Is just past
The horror of that night still remains.
A dozen beautiful roses
Each month I place upon her grave.
They entwine with the beauty of sparkling stars.
Tonight a promise fulfilled
Next to my roses, her family matches them.
