13 - The Victim
Her memory covered in lies
Her once rosey skin
Now covered with flies
Unanswered screams
In the dead of night
As he took her life
Stripped her of her rights
Left to rot
Inside a hallow grave
To feed the hunger
That he craved
A year went by
And nobody came
Tears ran dry
No headstone with a name
Just another victim
Another face
Another number
In an unknown place
