men dressed in red
left in the shadows of her siblings
she fell fast asleep in the back seat of daddy’s suv
out of sight and out of mind
the very idea of tomorrow never
entered her most wildest of dreams as she breathed
the shallowest baby breaths
locked inside this man-made trap
a busy world revolves around her curiosities
her arms reaching for the sky
focused on a happy ending
she wills the glass to break into million of pieces
men dressed in red rehearsing
to set her free
may two thousand fifteen

The thought of a baby left in a car gives me shivers…
Same here – seems it happens more than it ever should.
