A Life Consumed

With echoes of a life lost in darkness
Burning saline is pumped into veins
Silent screams, the pain howls frankly
A small life is waiting to enter the clear
It will never arrive, for it is now dust
Never
to be given a name, only salty tears
Lost in oblivion, a destiny unclaimed
A life unlived, a prayer unspoken
The chain is broken
