Tucked in the woods



Near North Chicago



Early November



Commences our saga



Two loved in silence



For fear of corruption



Then fate chimed in



With an evil grin and a mighty interruption



She awoke in a panic



The TV in static



She heard a voice



In the attic



Crouched behind her door



With a Swiss Army knife



She cried in silence



Fearing for her life



Protecting herself



She stabbed the intruder



The lights turned on



Her knife impaled her suitor



She'd committed a murder



While he laid there bleeding



She stared, clearly scared



Checked her boyfriend's heart for beating



It's not right



The lights get dim



And all she thinks of is him



She cried through the morning



As she read the paper



Her father told police



The boy broke in to rape her



She ran to the bathroom



Enraged and pissed



Grabbed a razor



And tic-tac-toed her wrist



She'd committed a murder



And while she laid there bleeding



She stared, clearly scared



Checked her final pulse for beating



It's not right



The lights get dim



And all she thinks of is him
