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 began to run
Her dress was caught by thorns
And soon became undone
Her clothes cut in tatters
Covered in tar-black mud
The thorns pierced her legs
And they leaked red blood
Worst of all, she couldn’t tell
Which path she had to take
She picked a random one
In the dark, a winding snake
Sadly, she picked wrong
And she was very lost
So far from her home
She shivered in the frost
Into the woods, dark as death
She heard a distant sound
She screamed and tripped
And fell to the ground
Like a permanent shadow
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
Pale as hoarfrost
A girl in her childhood
They say her ghost
Forever roams the wood
