in Vain

In a shattered world, memories torn apart Fractured shards of glass cut deep into my heart Once held treasured, now stained with pain Bookmark the scars, a daughter's life in vain Outlined in chalk, our perfect picture fades A tragedy too cruel, in death she lays Gone too soon, a life cut short In this broken world, we're left to sort Through the pieces of our shattered dreams In the silence, nothing is as it seems My picture perfect world now smashed and torn In grief and loss, forever worn
