A lady dressed in rose petals
With fall leaves for hair.
Lips as red as cherries
Body floating in air.
Skin whiter than snow
Eyes rimmed with dark shadows.
She is the reflection,
The ghost of my heart.
The Lady dressed in rose petals.

The author's comments:
The song from the Woman in Black trailer and a girl from my class inspired me to write this piece. This poem should not fall into the category of horror, even though it's spun off from the Woman in Black.
