The Tragic Death Of A Girl So Young

The river runs with silver light, A ribbon wound through fields of white. The moon looks down, so round, so bright, On love that whispered in the night. She walked alone, her heart so wild, A dreamer lost, a trusting child. Soft words had lured her to the deep, Where water sings and shadows creep. Beneath the branches bending low, She met the one she used to know. His hand was warm, his voice was sweet, Yet darkness coiled beneath his feet. A vow, a touch, a fleeting breath, Then silence cold and still as death. The river's arms embraced her tight, And bore her far into the night. The willows wept along the shore, They knew her step would come no more. The moon still glows, the stars still gleam, Yet love lies drowned in sorrow's stream. And he who swore to keep her near Now walks with neither love nor fear, For trust once shattered, life once lost, Drifts nameless in the waters tossed.

It flows so well for such a sad story. We have to be thankful when we are delivered from those wild moments unharmed.
