"Thief": Lizzi Marriott's prophetic poem | Forensic Files

she was my best friend Lizzie and I were always together it was just always us so
it's a a huge huge loss for me it's a loss to the World on what she could have done and what she would have done Lizzie
had everything that we we didn't she wrote poetry beautifully she sang like an angel this is a a poem that Lizzie
wrote entitled Thief it doesn't matter what you take even if you break me tear away my soul
rip from me my Silver Wings and leave with what you stole never will they bless you or help
when you're afraid merely useless trinkets with me they should have stayed take away my everything but when
all is said and done you'll sit with your treasure but it's me who's truly won to me that really talks
to Seth at the level that he had taken something on the night of October 9th in the end it will never could never do
anything for him just to hear her words and how prophetic they were is mindboggling that you know she had
written this at such a young age and then you know they were so fitting for her death that it's just I don't it's
hard to reconcile the loss to Lizzy and to our family is just so tremendous
