In the shadows, secrets lie,
A whisper grows as night goes by,
Silent steps on cobbled stone,
A chilling tale, a fate unknown.

Moonlight casts a ghostly hue,
Eyes watch from the avenue,
A stolen glance, a fleeting sight,
The crime unfolds beneath the night.

Fear grips hearts and souls retreat,
In darkness, danger they meet,
A scream that breaks the silent air,
Echoes of a deep despair.

Morning light reveals the scene,
A shattered dream, a life unseen,
Questions rise, the truth to find,
In the aftermath, justice blind.
