A secretive man He had few friends A life of mystery he led Until one day, He was found dead Marks on his neck His body, a wreck He was a sight to see For all who came to sneak a peak A searched ensued Police pursued No evidence was found His life was snuffed out Without leaving a clue Quite a conundrum the police were in They didn’t know where to begin An enigma of a case Causing them much disgrace They needed an outside pair of eyes To come help analyze A call was placed She came in haste To investigate Masterful at her job She re-examined the scene Before taking a trip to the morgue Where his body was still stored ‘Even the dead tells stories’, her mom used to say For she was a homicide detective too in her day His body was the only clue she needed Even though it was still in many pieces Hours passed Days too In the back of her mind, she had already figured out the crime The only case she had never solved The only case she had yet to resolve A killer so vicious Committing crimes so horrific It left those stunned who had witnessed This time would be different She would catch this killer And put that person away Once and for all So he would never again slay The souls of those who were lost
