The Girl in the Shadows

by Ashleigh Skye   Feb 4, 2005


You see her standing in the shadows,
In a ripped and bloodied gown,
Her face shows no trace of a smile,
But the dark presence left from a frown.

She has no facial expression,
Just a blank and empty stare,
You look around the dark room,
As you hear someone whisper beware.

Your not sure what is going on,
As you step closer to the girl,
You see her eyes look up at you,
Behind a bloodied blond curl.

You wonder who she is,
And why she is like that,
When all of a sudden her stare hits you,
as you fall onto the mat.

You quickly stumble backwards,
Just trying to get away,
Because you know who she is,
Beneath all of that blood and decay.

That little girl is you,
The one you helped destroy,
But how can she be standing there,
As pale and still as a toy?

You quickly catch a glimpse,
Of the beauty she once had been,
And then just as fast,
It goes away unseen.

It then returns to the blood,
And her dark and soulless eyes,
But no longer are you afraid,
To hear her little cries.

You know what you have to do,
To help this little thing,
You have to get yourself some help,
No matter how embarrassing.

So you leave the room with a smile,
Knowing your doing what’s right,
And when you turn around you notice,
The girl is no longer in sight.

You give yourself a smile,
And continue on with your day,
Knowing now what ever happens,
You will not run away.
