A Towns Angel

Mystery covers the frail form of this girl

Already in the awkward transition from child to woman.

Simply dressed, her beautiful dark hair half way down her back

Which shines perfectly in the sunlight.



It’s her irresistible charm, intelligence beyond her years

Ringing laughter

That draws her to people

And makes them overlook her plainness.



Oh, those emotions which she seemed to display on her sleeve.

Such happiness always carried around her

And she had yet to know great sorrow

Or so they thought.



Had anybody ever bothered to pay closer attention,

To the emotion in her beautiful eyes

Instead of their pretty colours

They would see an immense sorrow



Bitter tears flowing from her eyes,

Rolling down her cheeks

Falling into the lake

Ripples forming rings that get larger and larger

Then disappear



Her sobs would have melted and eroded

Even the coldest and hardest of hearts.

They seem to resonate through the air

And cling there, vibrating…



She cried

And the world seemed to darken.
