The Short Life of Elizabeth Short
I watched her glossy black curls bounce
as she walked away on long, creamy legs.
I longed for her to turn and show me her cherry smile;
the one that said, “I will be famous.”
I could tell, when her chocolate eyes met mine
that I was what she desired.
But can you believe, that when I came to return her love,
she screamed and called me a stalker.
And suddenly I was staring at her beautiful lifeless body
and thinking how amazing it would be if only there were two of her.
And with a slice of my saw, there was. But the blood.
All the blood had to go, for it distracted from her pretty ruby lips.
Oh her pretty lips, how I longed to see them smile at me again--
so I cut it forever into her beautiful porcelain face.
After all she should be happy, I made her famous.

I had recently watched American Horror Story and was inspired by the story of Elizabeth Short, and how the writers of the show used her real story and incorporated it into theirs.
