In the depths of a tortured soul,
A young man's heart, a story to unfold.
A life of crime, a life of thrill,
A heart that breaks, a stomach that's ill.
The crimes, they came, a force so strong,
A life of pain, a life that's long.
But in the aftermath, a heart that's torn,
A life of sorrow, a life that mourns.
Forced to commit, a life of strife,
A heart that breaks, a life that's rife.
Yet in the thrill, a heart that swells,
A life of crime, a life that tells.
But in the end, a heart that's sick,
A life of pain, a life that's thick.
A young man's heart, a life in fear,
A life of crime, a life so clear.
A sad, heartbreaking poem, a tale of woe,
A life of crime, a heart that's low.
A young man's heart, a life in pain,
A life of thrill, a life that's vain.
A heart in turmoil, a life of strife,
A young man's heart, a life so rife.
In the depths of a tortured soul,
A young man's heart, a life to hold.
A life of crime, a life of thrill,
A heart that breaks, a stomach that's ill.
A sad, heartbreaking poem, a tale of woe,
A young man's heart, a life that's slow.
A heart in turmoil, a life in pain,
A young man's heart, a life that wanes.
In the depths of a tortured soul,
A young man's heart, a life to hold.
