Innocence Victims
By Kazz Falcon

I came into the life of crime
It wasn't a life I want for myself
It just happened
It was forced on me
I couldn't do a thing about it
I threatened by my friend
Damn, it was out of control
I was in too deep
I couldn't get enough sleep
I saw the fear in her eyes
I wanted to help her anyway I can
There weren't any phones at my place
He knew I would call the police
We were somewhere in the country
No one would have a chance to find her
I promised her that I would protect her from him
We need to find a way out of the mess
She trusted me and has faith in me
I didn't mean any harm to her
It was never my ideal
My friend and I were talking one night
We wondered how we could get fast money
One thing led to the next
We were pretty drunk that night
Weeks later, he brought home a little girl
He claimed she was his niece
It didn't strike me as odd
The girl was acting strangely
He mentioned it was being in a new place
I could relate to her
She doesn't how to react around with strangers
Few days later, I read the newspaper
There was an article about a missing girl
She fitted the girl's description to the tee
I confronted him with the truth
He admitted it was the same girl
Damn, I don't believe he could do such a thing
I wanted to take her home in the car
She needs to be home with her family
He grabbed the keys from my hand
He mentioned I was in deep as he was
He would turn on me if I tell the police
It was his story against mine
He ruined my life in the mess
I just wanted to do the right thing
I had no choice in the matter
I didn't want to end up in jail
The girl and I were the innocence victims
