Run Little Girl Run

Listen to the sounds of night
Close your eyes
Beware the fright

Thoughts cascade
Through brim-filled mind
Help her
Help her
She is blind

Starts to seep
The frustration
Hid so deep
The untrusting of any soul
The always suspicious toll

One took and broke
Perfect ideals
Thoughts evoked

Cascade 
Cascade down
Until still life played
In front of seamless eyes

Brutal attacks
Heinous crime
Run run run
Quick
And hide

Heart seems not to beat
Only quiet little leaks
That no one sees beneath
Body aches to be fee
But soul it seems
Captured
Smothered 
Ceased

Slow uneasy feet
Carry her too unwilling defeat
To talk
To not
To hide away initial thoughts

Not to be caught
Around devils door
Around a hellward bound
Simple sound

The screeching sound
Of metal scrounge
Across cast iron
Over soft white
Pillow like 

Late at night
Thoughts collide
Cascading down 
Her intricate mind
A frown it seems
The only mask 
That seem her fiend

Run little girl
Run they scream
