Come and play with me in my darken skies,
as my daughter sings a new lullaby I thought forgot.
Come dance with me in the middle of the night,
and Kiera wakes with tears and fright.
You have to die to be where I am,
"mommy I want to die to play with my friend"
I know who is talking, she still haunt my dreams,
cries are heard, objects dropped, cold fingers touch.
I close my ears, I silent my eyes, ignore the tingle.
"Kiera who is it that you are talking too?"
Lovely child, full of life with haunted eyes,
"why mommy you know her, she was your friend too."
You leave my child alone, you will not take
her childhood as you wished to take mine.
I am sorry you are left to play alone,
Be gone Madilane, we play with you no more.
Author notes
Ok so I was gonna go for spooky, tell you all about the things I know.
But this is what ended up coming from and a issue in my life since I
was a child, Madline was my friend, my sisters friend, my neice her friend too.
All were asked to join her in death by jumping out the window on the 2nd story
of my 110 year old house that has been in the family for 40 years now.
Madline is now my daughters friend, and I had to cast her out for my child
to sleep in peace.

This made me cry, tears are running down my face. This is a horrible story, but you talked about it very well. Very very well. Thank you so much for writing this. It is beautiful.

PUt an open bottle of camphor in the closet on a shelf opened, it WILL drive away the spirits. Young children are prone to hear them, as they have not been taught differently. My son had nightmares until we used the camphor.
Tough situation, but like the write.
