A Dreadful Thing

A Bright candle flame, A young life tamed, A open soul is named, A tear of happiness, A nights peaceful silence, A skinned knee the only thing bleeding, A happy life still breathing, A life with a smile, A dreadful thing happens, A breathing life hurting, A hurt life not worth living, A slit piece of flesh still bleeding, A scared heart relent-ly beating, A nights silence haunting, A tear unwelcome, A hidden soul unnamed, A broken life untamed, A blown out candle flame.
