*Escapee

High on the edge of a cliff

Far above the crashing waves

A girl in a crimson dress

Sits in the spring grass

Watching the lazy sun rise.

This is her sanctuary

Do not disturb her

It is here that she can fly

Her wings heal on this ledge

Where she is free from worries and fear.

In the quiet of the dawn

She can hear her heart beating

Can hear the waves break below

Feel the breeze caress her tender skin

Soon she will have to leave this place

And return to her world of bruises

Where not only her dress is dark

She's been warned not to go out

But only here does she find peace

Hurry! Her papa will wake up soon



She's not sitting there anymore

Only the crashing waves

Know her secret now.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

Did she run home?
Or did she jump off the cliff?

Its unfortunate that she ever has to leave her haven to go back to her place of pain.

Well written
