She has her long flowing hair
With her dark running eyes
And a pale shade that hides the face
Of a girl who once loved
Dark shadows haunt her past
But her flawless face never falters
Clear and untouched by the rule of time
Contrasting to the darkness of her life
So many emotions can be read in her eyes
As she stares into a place unknown
And I can only help but wonder
What is in the darkness that surrounds her?
What story has she to tell
What’s left of the life she led?
And what scars are on the inside
Of the pale and flawless shade

"Dark shadows haunt her past
But her flawless face never falters
Clear and untouched by the rule of time
Contrasting to the darkness of her life"
