Into the Woods
A little girl was playing alone
Dancing in a field of flowers
Soon, the sun started to set
She had been gone for hours
The colors were so mesmerizing
So, she didn’t notice at all
When the sun disappeared
It got dark at nightfall
The girl started to worry
In fear, she screamed out loud
Even the moon and stars
Were hidden by a thundercloud
Soon, it started to rain
The little girl started to run
Her dress got caught in thorns
And soon became undone
Her clothes were in tatters
She was covered in mud
And from the thorn cuts
Her legs leaked red blood
Worst of all, she couldn’t tell
Which path she had to take
She picked a random one
Her life was at stake
Sadly, she picked wrong
And she was very lost
So far from her home
She shivered in the frost
In the woods, all alone
She heard a distant sound
She screamed and tripped
And she fell to the ground
She never got up again
But her body remained
Her head leaked blood
It pooled and stained
They never found the body
But soon, everyone said
The woods were never the same
After the girl was dead
A translucent girl
In her childhood
They say her ghost
Still roams the wood
