The Little Girls Abyss

Ever since I was young I always had this dream About a little girl who lived next door Who drowned in a nearby stream I don't know what possessed me But I always knew one day She would turn up at my door And ask me out to play I mentioned it to my parents They said "listen" and sat me down It happened before we moved here Her bigger sister let her drown The family we bought the house from Moved on from the fear of this Their teenage daughter suffered nightmares And dreamt of a wet abyss Many years have passed I am now well into my teens But this aura that still surrounds me Everywhere I look she's seen One evening I went to shower As normal I pulled back the screen I turned to look in the mirror She was there, staring back at me There was an incredible similarity She looked like me when i was young Now having shown herself, is it over Or has it really just begun http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/dark-3.php

I think she just needs someone to set her free, tell her it's okay to move on. My take on the interesting story told in your poem. good one James...cheers Margaret

I love poetry that tells the whole story and this one really tells it very well. It has a beginning, a middle and an end. Great job! Patty
