Fatal Hand
He holds her close, strips her spirit bare
secures her trust, teaches her to care,
showers her with gifts in daylight hours,
casts his spell, behold his evil power!
You never know, do not wish to see
behind walls, within society.
Just turn your backs, never hear her cries
and cover up the crimes with all your lies!
She thrust the needle deep, dulls her pain
there’s nothing left to lose or to gain.
No witnesses , still she runs away
concealed there in the shadows every day!
Long ago he cast his evil spell
Now yesterday is her eternal hell!
