5 minutes away

11 8 2
                                    


she was just a young girl

just 18

headed to the big city

from small town

somewhere


fresh off the bus

excitement in her eyes

the whole world at her feet

her future unknown


a small room

just a 5 minute walk 

from the bus terminal

no need for a taxi

its not that far

and besides


it is such a beautiful night

what could go wrong


she never made it

to the room

just 5 minutes away
