Dripping down into the well The rain may go and start to dry A little girl goes by and sings Her soul so bright and cool this night But as she sings, the night is old
A boy comes near the window pane He sees her grace, she minds her time At once the motion then sat tamed A colored light formed from the girl Something not normal to this world
The boy sat struck by awe and lost A thing rose up, it's smile curled As tall as lights that line the streets It stood in stealth as shadows creeped
The girl had not the mind to scream Instead, she smiled with the being Their eyes burned bright right at the boy It sure did scare his little bones
He rushed away and closed the drapes No way he'd go back to the pane Now nights scare him and little girls Who'd think a thing to seem so real
At school, he chose to sit alone Till she came and sat by his heel His fear held his voice down in jail No one could know that he saw hell
She smiled sly and walked away He clutched his heart, no words to say Her shadow grinned before the shade And then he saw her body fade
He couldn't get them out his head No matter where he went to hide From school till home he wept with dread He felt fear climb way up his spine
He gave the girl a name he'd yell A name only made for a fiend He used to hear it down the well The same name that she liked to sing
He said the name before he slept Summoned her up into his room Before he knew what he had done His bed became a slumber tomb
His parents never knew of this Until they wandered for his wake They found her name written in scrapes "VINETHIA", they said in pain
Their home had died along with them No one knew where their bodies went No one tells of this tale at all For it may cause something to switch
