Her Dark Secret

He saw her from a far, sitting alone at the bar
looking very sad, but attractive by far
her name was betty, she was unemployed
she worked at a factory where she used to make toys
not married, not dating, no kids to take care of
a golden oppurtuntiy to show what he's made of
he asked for her story as he listened in awh
she was laid off from work for having sex on the job
she tried to explain she was raped by those men
but the boss didn't believe it as they all used to be friends.
now that she is gone she is trying to sue
also because the men left her with a parting gift too
he couldn't believe the story, it had to be a lie
he surely chnaged his mind as she showed him the bruise on her eye
he listened to the story, wondering what the gift could be
maybe just the bruise? or something he couldn't see
he asked her back to her place as he looked at the time
she said "we'll take a cab to yours, not in the mood for mine"
they made love that night, he didnt have protection
a mistake he would regret uppon further investigation
she cried after sex, he asked what could it be
she said, "i am sorry, there is just something wrong with me"
he said, "you are perfect now lay your head and lets go to sleep"
she left in the morning, rushing to escape
leaving a note by his side he would see when awake
reading the letter he started to smile, but that only lasted for just a little while.
at the end it got bad as he was shocked to see
that the letter ended saying, "i tried to tell you something was wrong but you wouldn't believe, so now you're infected with HIV"
