Deep in the murky depths,
Protected by vicious predators
Lays a secret
Never to be found,
Never to be seen
Locked away forever.
Like a gruesome present
That none want to open,
It rests untouched,
Unnoticed by all,
Forgotten by all.
A surprise that holds answers,
Answers for a grieving family,
Answers for an unsolved crime.
It holds the key to many truths,
To many locked doors,
But the key is lost forever,
Somewhere in a watery grave.
The doors remain locked,
Will remain locked.
Justice cannot be served
Without the key to the crime,
Without the present being opened,
Without the answer to the mystery.
The suprise will never surprise anyone
Because it will never be found.
The skeleton in this closet will never be dug out,
Will collect layers of dust.
The culprit may rest in an uneasy peace,
Never to be seeked out,
Never to be blamed
Because in a watery grave
The truth remains hidden,
Forever.
