Her sister called
Out of the blue
Telling me what had happened
To the girl I once knew
She said her boyfriend
Was missing a *****
And considering everything
It must have been true

No thought of her sister
Nephew or nieces
When he cut her up
Into little pieces
And left her remains
On the side of the road
After the argument
That made him explode

Long after our breakup
My feelings had grown
And I still loved her
Which she should have known
Even though I was left
Heartbroken and alone
I could still feel her
Down to my bone

The storm clouds I saw
Was an ominous sign
When we ran into each other
From time to time
Our brief encounters
Were always sublime
Which offered proof positive
That love’s often blind
