In the Darkness

She seeps through the halls Listening for him to bawl Her illusions keep her awake As her mind continues to break No one taught her the truth That her child died at youth She knew of the fact But only made her mind blacked She lives in Meadow Lanes Where she stays rooted with chains If you head straight You'll go into a dark fate She's in the baby blue room Where she holds her dead womb She'll cause stairs to creak And soon, she'll let out a loud shriek It'll freeze you in your step She'll appear, causing you to yelp Stay frozen, don't move Unless a tale she'll prove She'll have tears on her flushed face She won't move, she wants a chase Don't give it to her Stay still until the coast is clear Don't worry, she'll leave But she'll gather you as a pet peeve Don't stay longer Unless you want to end like Johnson's daughter Don't ever come back For now, the door gains another crack That was a tragic tale you see? Now child please, run along and go flee If you want to know more Why don't you head to my door?
