A Young Life

A young life lost,
And a mother's broken heart,
The consequences,
Of a life that was torn apart.
A young life ended,
By the cold cruel hand of fate,
No one could save her,
They tried but it was all too late.
A young life over,
Before it had a chance to grow,
But she lost direction,
Now the future's something she'll never know.
A young life taken,
From a desperate mothers love,
An impressionable mind,
She tried to reach that glittery star above.
A young life destroyed,
Her hopes were set way too high,
Dreams unattainable,
Nothing went right and she didn't know why.
A young life gone now,
She left believing they didn't care,
So lost and confused,
But in her mothers heart, she'll always be there...
