Bright pale eyes and
long fair hair
She was a born
adventurer with a
rebellious flare
Insomniac,
she came by the lake
every night
Shining like a
torchlight
against the moonless sky
She wondered how life
was like on the
other side
And curious by heart,
she decided to find out
Stepping into the cold
black water, the air
was dead still
In the eerie silence,
she boldly
started to swim
With graceful
strokes, she approached the
opposite shore
But halfway the freezing lake,
her body could suddenly
move no more
Wide-eyed and
panicking, her cries for help
echoed in the open
Sinking, flailing
limbs and screaming 'til her
lungs grew swollen
Drowned,
she never reached the other
end of the lake
But in the nearby
village, an identical girl
still lives today
Bright pale eyes and
long fair hair
Nightgown dripping wet
