Girl In White
You’ll never believe
What happened that day
I can’t believe it
So I will just say
It started the day
Just like the other
Where I woke up to coffee
Made by my father
I got out of bed
And took to the kitchen
I looked around
But something was missing
There was no father
And there was no smell
There in white
Stood a child from hell
“Come and play”
She said to me
I froze in place
How could this be?
I open my eyes
And lied in my bed
She stood at the door
Was this girl dead?
She ran through my door
And I just shut my eyes
I said to myself
“My mind tells me lies”
I fell back to sleep
To be woken again
But it wasn’t the dead
Little white friend
Instead it’s my mother
And sister by side
They asked me a question
And my eyes open wide
“Were you just laughing
And running down the hall”
I guess she was there
After all…
