A Locked Room

A young infant, a short life,
It's painful, it's like a knife.

A happy moment, suddenly torn apart,
There was no breath, no beat of the heart.

A life unused, a space unfilled,
A cruel trick, all joy killed.

An unanswered question, a constant ponder,
They'll never forget, they'll always wonder.

A locked room, no one will enter,
They'll never forget, she'll always be the center.
