Secrets

SECRETS
Death took a life and left a soul all alone.
No one heard any screams or moans.
They couldn't answer the question why?.
Who killed that girl,did she have to die.
Buried in a fire under all that ash.
Her life was taken in a flash.
An abandoned bus is where her body was hid.
Remains were so small they thought it was a kid.
Police couldn't answer the why,when or who.
Because of the fire it burnt up so many clues.
But when the police finally figure it out.
They will be found guilty without a doubt.
Her soul was lost but now it's found.
Now she can rest and be put in the ground.

I understand that writing about a situation sometimes helps to cope. Teresa, feel free to check out some of my poems, might find some you like. Peace.
