Black And White

She's as innocent
as a young girl can be,
for what does she know of
death and love,
and hate and purity?
She is as pure a white
as anyone can see.
So good, so sweet,
silent and meek,
not prone to secrecy.
But now she holds
a song untold,
of dark morbidity.
Of the day she went
from life to death,
the day she lost her sheen.
Young and bright,
the softest white,
so simple, and so clean.
She sat upon the forest log,
so wild and so free,
and hummed a song,
a silly song,
of childish beliefs.
She hung her feet,
down in the stream,
that was rushing like the world,
and she held a rose so white
and clean,
it's petals just unfurled.
And then he came,
with an evil grin,
like a wolf knocking at the door.
Quiet and unseen,
he held a wicked gleam,
in his black eyes so dark.
He watched her from afar,
and his mind was filled with filth,
his heart was rotten,
mean and rough,
callused, and full of guilt.
Down the hill he crept,
a dark and sinister fiend,
he was hunting for some pleasure,
and it was sitting by the stream.
He grabbed her from behind,
and he stifled all her screams.

She dropped her pretty rose, and
like her heart that day,
it drifted on,
and it turned black
as he took her white away.
