Double Life

It was dark outside
a mist through out the air.
A nice cool breeze gently
blew her hair.
Sitting out side,
gazing at the stars.
So many wonderful thoughts
were running miles through
her head.
Watching her surroundings,
a man in the way.
Walking to his car,
grocery bags in hand.
He seemed to be having trouble.
Dropping them on the ground.
So she got up to lend
a helping hand.
She gave him a smile,
and he returned it back to her.
Down her knees in front of him
she were.
Picking up the oranges
that rolled out from the bag.
But as he bent down
he wasn't goingto help her.
Hidden behind the tire
a crow bar was near.
He had it in hand,
and wailed upon her head.
He then began to tie her up
throwing her in the car.
Blood was dripping out
her eyes began to wake.
Then tears began to fall.
She pleaded with the man
but nothing seemed to work.
She then began to pray
her last words
please don't I just found out
I was pregnant.
But as the man pulled her
out of the car.
He began to beat her senseless
death now in the air.
Besides a smashed in skull,
He cut off her limbs.
Ducked taped her mouth
and left her laying her their.
His signiture he would leave
his morals he had left.
Wiping his forehead sweat
did start to pour.
His heart never raced,
his palms never sweaty,
he seemed to have done
this many times before.
After he had left the women
in the woods, he then drove
off into the city to clean
out his car.
In the morning when he awoke
he leaned over in bed
and his kissed his wife good morning.
The children were outside
wrestling with there dog.
He lived a normal life,
to you and I it would seem.
But when nightfall came
he was a serial killer you see.
