The Girl

There once was a girl
Innocent and sweet
Violation and betrayal came for a visit
They would stay forever
The reaper chased her
She ran and ran but could not escape his shadow
She died
But stayed alive
She still lived in the world
But she remained restless and cold
No purpose or plan
So she runs into the darkness
