There once was a small girl, who sat alone amongst the whispering trees while often pretending she could hear their long forgotten and secretive language
But in truth, she was born with the gift to hear those without a voice, but she continuously remained within the confinement of the mindset "pretend"

They uttered in soft and silken voices, articulated to described to her several things, fastidiously horrible things, things she should have never known given her young years
Those voices, aged and forgotten reached out within her mind and told her the secrets of the universe, told her the sadness, happiness, love and loss, so much it gave that the torrent of emotions was never ending, a continuous tumor within her mind, taking control, as it began to teach her things, but poisoning her mind alongside

In a vapid smoke, they curled around her ears sealing off all forms of escape of their prowess like prey, so they whispered to her the death of her father; how he would soon become swiftly forgotten over a drought of infestation of warlike trials against his demeanor towards life

They Gave her an irrational and incomparable numbing fear

Skittering, they flashed across her eyes, blinding her to compatible thought and knowledge; so they hinted to her the life of a killer; his "nostalgic" and wanton thoughts of lust created from river running blood, the craved lust for the hunt, the predator aspect thriving deep within his veins

They Gave her blood curdling cruelness and desires yet unattainable

Swirling around her mouth they delved deep into her soul, crawling their way down her esophagus like an unwanted virus, spreading; so they told the tale of the one who would claim her soul; how it would be wrenched from within her body and shattered into pure black energy, as she would be used to raise the demons that would penetrate blackness into her thoughts

They Gave her odium and malice

Naturally, she began to grow frightened, abhorrence chilling her movements and as if settling deep into the pits of Tartarus that remained crouching against her diaphragm
stalling her breaths, deprecating her mind of the wanted oxygen, suffocating she stilled


As the ever chilling voices of those trees with their cracking and musty but enthralling voices called to her, bidding her closer into their knowledge and influence, drawing her in
still they forcefully arrived and went, blinding her with their furious powers, battering her mind like a silken lily standing frightened and alone on the top of a lone hill against the forces of a hurricane

Listlessly she listened to the softening crescendo of her lost life within falling and false pretenses, lost
Although she continued pretending she knew the meaning to life within the circus of life in the alternate universes in which she saw within her blinded eyes;
She learned to hate, to become cruel and twisted, with dark thoughts blotting out the sun from penetrating,
creating a briar patch of jagged thorns that built a wall against opposition and reality, for reality was just an illusion now

For the giving tree always gave too much
(Was from my other account, but I don't really use that one, so I just copied it over to here!)
