Saddened tears of a sorrowful soul
Killed by a man with rage of jealousy
Ending the life of a beautiful girl
Beaten and tattered like a rag doll
As he placed her in a shallow grave
Leaving her like a discarded beast
Months had passed for this forgotten soul
When a hiker found her remains upon a shallow grave
Her dead mummified body embedded into the sands
Face cracked with flaked skin
Decaying and harboring maggots
Faded lips of a ghostly image
That once spoke her last anguished words
Alone like an invisible vision forgotten in time
With her sunken eyes of death
Wanting to tell her story of her killer
Boney fingertips and diminished hands
As if reaching out asking for help
Scattered hair amongst the leafs
As the wind blows her remains
Like dust upon death sands of a innocent soul
Saddened tears of a sorrowful soul
