E4M

A soul so pure

Yet her demons prevented a cure

Her hidden illness led to an eternal stillness

She was happy they thought for sure

Fourteen years in

Her life, just starting to begin

Lately she’s been fighting with her demons

They’re starting to win

She weeps and wallows

Her mind is filled with so much fear

Trying to escape her dark shadow that follows

Soon she’ll be trapped in the darkness’ swallows

Her friends and family still unaware her end is near

A beautiful girl with a future untold

Her parents minds unable to unfold

Why their princess went away

Before her hair had a chance to turn gray
