Too Soon
Fragile Beauty
Her tender breaths escaped towards the heavens
a soft gentle smile remains there on her lips
The flush color of pink visible on her pale skin
A tiny tear lingers, puddled under her lids
Her short life was taken long before they intended
Along with her future and sweet innocence
A friend of the family, he pretended
Lured her into his car at just a half past six
The beast deep inside him demanded a treasure
Craved the goodness she held with no regard for her life
With nowhere to hide she pleaded for answers
It crawled out of his shell and looked her straight in the eyes
His skin bubbled and stretched like some sort of cancer
It twisted and distorted him like Jekyll to Hyde
From the deepest dark caverns stood before her a monster
The devil himself, no remorse for her cries
They found her that morning in a mountain of petals
Roses and daisies covered her head to toe
They never discovered who buried the angel
Or why she was taken, heaven only knows
