She was sleeping peacefully in her room
Oblivious of what awaits her
I walked in to check on her
And it just came over me
It gripped me like scarlet fever

There was a train track
Just some feet away from our backyard
This evil thought became so strong
I sprung into action

I lifted her up
Not a stir from her
I walked out of the room
Not a murmur
Then towards the railway
Not a shout still
I got excited

I laid her quietly on the tracks
And retreated to await the result
I heard a deafening sound
And knew the hour had come

I opened my eyes just in time
To see her wriggle her small body
On the rails and under the train
As the train walked on her
The air became still
So still all life could die
And the sun disappeared
