Evermore

Abandoned, broken and forlorn
it stands darkly upon a hill
A ghostly form is seen there 
and screams are heard so shrill

She wanders through the Manor
a place no one comes anymore
but children show their bravery
by running up to touch the door

She's searching for her lost love
the one that left her far behind
He ran off to be with another
and she slowly lost her mind

The years have come and gone
but her pain will last forever
Her white dress stained a crimson red
from the artery she did sever

Now are you brave or are you fearful
as you creep towards her front door
Because if you are just a bit too slow
you will be hers for evermore
