The [Dead] Children Can't Sleep (Solve Their Murder)

By October Death

Cryptic beds

Full of unsolved mysteries and unanswered questions

Silenced weeping and muffled laughs

Forgotton memories laced with hopeful depression

They run around the mossy rocks

Their fates written upon the marble

Holding hands and skipping in the moonlight

Singing and playing games

They are so tired

Wondering why Mommy and Daddy haven't come for them

Waiting for justice so they can finally sleep
