NOIR
She was a beauty
tall and blonde
with curves in
all the right places
she claimed to
have loved him
couldn’t live
without him
but now was
forced to
she hired me to
find his killer
the trail had
gone cold
the police had
given up
could I do what
they couldn’t
I gave it my best
just to stay in
her presence
shock of shock
I became the top
suspect
had she set me up
I couldn’t
believe she would
those lips, that
kiss
her tears, those
eyes
I’m no fool
but the bars of
my cage say differently.
