Iva Goodhart

I was a student who loved to learn
A girlfriend who loved to love
A friend who loved secrets and giggles
A daughter who loved to please
A traveler who saw the world

I just wanted to make the world good and safe
I wanted crime to stop
Hunger to vanish
World peace.

They put away a nice man
Whose finger prints were on my books
After a night of studying
In the Lewis Clark State College Library
But he just helped me up after falling down the stairs
And helped me pick up my books
I was tired and my shoe was untied.
It wasn’t until later that night
That I was murdered.

It was my boyfriend’s X-girlfriend.
She was waiting by my new car
Jealous of my life and the car he bought me.
She hadn’t slept in days,
Eyes red with hate
It was she that killed me
And covered it up.
