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
