Scarlette Layne

Scarlette Layne died of lies,
of the lies she began.
She tried, tried hard
to live from day to day.
But it wasnt good enough.
The truth hurt unconditionally,
and it was always there.
Scarlette commited suicide
but who knows why?
Why did she pull the trigger?
'She never really had a chance,'
some say,
'She couldnt live with herself.'
But no one really knows why,
why they found Scarlette
in a puddle of her own,
scarlet blood.
Its a case,
cold from the day it opened
because the world is always turning
and it left Scarlette Layne behind.
