And to be sure when night called her
And madness screamed her name
She leapt towards the heavens
But her heart cried out in shame
Though the demons had her
And they burnt away inside
There was at least some goodness
That she managed still to hide
The wolves sprang by her side
As she walked the forsaken road
The darkness all-corrupting
Only greatened her heavy load
She trod the lonely footways
Feeling her dreams falling through
And then with her hands tied
She prayed she'd make it through
Her evil soul had claimed her
As once it was said it would
But no one tried to save her
They did not think they could
And so stood with Hell's army
Wondering how low she could fall
And though she was sickened
She surrended to its call
They didn't know of her deceptions
And the secrets she hid deep
How they were guarding her heart
Saving the secrets she had to keep
They could not sense her fear
Though it had taken her long ago
And she did not see the wounded lying,
Just the crimson snow
She could remember all the poison
That had gripped her for so long
And the evil voices taunting
And tried to trick her all along
Alone she had the dagger in her hand
She studied it in the light
The idea was sprung upon her
And she had no will to fight
And then when angels came
They found but one body there
A tiny girl in a sky blue dress
And petals in her hair
And then when they came closer
They saw she only slept
For her heart had been kept secret
And so in death her spirit was kept
She wept upon awakening
And called out to her unknown fears
And the angels stood in amazement
One cleaning away her tears
'Be still child, life is waiting'
They said to the green-eyed girl
'Life has many secrets
Now you must let them unfurl'
She sat and stared upwards
The brilliant light stung at her eyes
But she felt free of all the corruption
All the hurt and all the lies
And she wept once more to the angels
As they carried her high in their arms
And the girl felt peace enter her heart
As the panic within her calmed
