Oh Tiny Vessel

Oh tiny vessel,

Helpless and misunderstood,

Didnt think of the consequences,

Acted on impulse.

 

Oh sleeping angel,

A beauty in the eye of the beholder.

 

Oh child of mine,

Where have you escaped to?

Lost in the horror of the world.

Lies told to escape the prison that held her captive.

 

Oh victim i could have saved,

Woe is me,

A Flashing memory,

An empty couch,

A lifeless corpse,

Taken much too soon.

 

I should have saved you,

My heart beats for your absence.

Salvation that will never come,

No one caught you when you fell.

No one came to fill the void within your life.

Only your killer,

Murderer maybe,

A stranger,

A faceless man

Took you away.

 

Your spirit will forever remain,

The sorrow i feel,

The guilt i cannot face,

I am so deeply sorry,

For you,

For you family,

For your friends,

 

No closer,

The pain never ends,

Endless searching for the precious gem that was stored away.

Please forgive me.
