seen of the crime

they followed and wanted her to know she was being followed
— sexual, complimentary and passive-aggressive
were the physical approaches

psychopath, sociopath and narcissist
— were masks hidden beneath sarcasm
and distinct pleasure gained in naive admiration

despised, impotent and unsuccessful
— were attributes hidden beneath false charm
bracelets used to choke their captives dreams

they found her stumbling through a dimmed hallway
— of simple sugars, anxiety distillate
and grief beyond drunk

she was five keystrokes away from being the next
seen of the crime
