Wake up, she screams

as she appears before her grave

drowning in a lake nearby

for her soul she couldnt save

she remained painted words

upon a tomb stone

an empty graveyard lies beneath her toes

ripping the petals off a single rose

thornes piercing into her hands

as she places petal after petal

on tomb stone after tomb stone

falling to her knees,

as she watches the painted words

drip slowly off the grave

her name faiding to nothing

wake up, she screams

as she appears before her grave

drowning in a lake nearby

for her soul she couldnt save
