Look at her.
That girl over there
Lying on the grass
Without a stitch on

Look at her,
How shameful she must have been.
To make a man that mad
That he would cut her like that

Look at her.
That smile permanently painted on her face
That flower there in her hair
Look

Look at her
How pretty she must have been
To incite such passion into a knife
Something she likely asked for

Look at her
Its a shame shes gone
So pretty.
So young

Look at her
Her hair like ink,
Blood like rouge
Pretty little thing

Look at Dahlia
Splashed across the front page
She must have had no shame
But, what a pretty picture she makes

Look at Dahlia
Formerly miss Elizabeth Short
A would be actress
Who had a tendency to anger a man.

Look at Elizabeth
Achieving stardom at last
She truly had no shame
Pretty. little. dahlia

Look at her
A sensational girl
Splashed across the front page
A victim to blame

Look at her
She was only 22
When her life was bisected
By a man who was never splashed across the front page
