A Silent River

In the dark depths
Of the silent water
Lies a story, a secret
Of a girl once slaughtered

The innocent went missing
The body never found
The river holds the secret
But the story's in chains, bound

Her soul lies washed
By the water's smooth caress
It's forceful current
Leaves her hair a mess

Her parent's will never know
And can't say goodbye
They walk upon that shore everyday
And into that water their tears cry

But the knowing river
Refuses to share their right
They'll live forever wishing
They'd kept her closer in sight

*I know it's a pretty dark poem, but I am really proud of it. So I'd really appreciate feedback. Thank you! :)
