he
disappeared without a trace
his
friends knew nothing but heartache
they
tried to handle it with grace
but some
things they just couldn’t fake
while
the anger made them shake
as
anxiety level climbs
only
intensifies the ache
that's how
it goes with unsolved crimes
his car
displayed in a public place
a scene
they’re trying to remake
a poster
with his name and face
with
flyers there for folks to take
a
dormant memory to awake?
and as a
distant church bell chimes
his
memory they will not forsake
that's how
it goes with unsolved crimes
leads
come in at a snail’s pace
some
years later they catch a break
a
jailhouse tip about the case
“in a
trailer sunk below the lake”
not wanting to make a mistake
they
searched the bottom many times
their
reputation was at stake
that's how
it goes with unsolved crimes
no
conclusions could they make
I check
the “cold case” list sometimes
it’s
been decades for heaven’s sake
that's how
it goes with unsolved crimes
