Once upon a time there was a cop
the cop was a hero
he brought down the greatest criminal master mind there ever was
and a lot of his followers.
There was also a criminal
a woman who had attended the very same schools as the cop had
she had aided in the murder of more then one of the cops friends.
but she had gone into hiding selling her body so she could have room and board.
one night the cop wandered into the brothel the criminal worked in,
he saw her and paid for her
completely intending to get her alone so he could bring her in.
But when his turn came he couldn't do it.
Instead he snuck her away to his apartment
and was quite horrible to her
he hated her for what she had done but
he loved her
for even when they had been in school together she had been the only one to ever know him
other people knew of him
some knew the nice him but she knew all of him
and he loved her for it.
and the truth was she loved him too
because he made her feel needed
One day he couldn't take it anymore and sent her away with 5k
he hated himself for what he had done to her
he told her to go and that he was sorry that he had treated her so badly
and he told her that if she came back he would have to turn her in.

three weeks later she got the death sentence
and died the next day.

And he sits on her grave and cries
he tries to move on
dates other people treats them like he should have treated her
but there will always be one thing that none of these other girls have
they will never have his heart
because it died with the criminal.

Sometimes even though two people love each other very much
sometimes even though they are perfect for each other
soul mates even
circumstances don't let them be together.
