In the big city alley, where shadows wander,

I'm walking alone, remembering a darker day.

Thinking back, like old pictures in my mind,

A story unfolds, a past of a different kind.

In a room filled with smoke, secrets were revealed,

A deal was made, and danger newfound.

Whispers in the darkness, promises untold,

A journey to crime, a tale to be unfolded in plain sight.

Down the alley, footsteps I heard,

Recapping a heist, where things went wrong .

Partners in crime, now turned away,

Choices made then, haunting me today.

Sirens in the present, breaking the silence,

A crime unfolding, no room for guesses.

Through memories and alleys, I find my way,

The past and present, tangled in a crime ballet.

Something I remembered plays a part.
