Deep Blue Eyes
Dark brown hair and deep blue eyes
Nobody knows why she cries
But fresh new scars cover her arm
Who would ever cause this child harm?
Only the young girl knows why
Why all her family had to die
Maybe that's what keeps her up at night
Experiencing such a horrible sight
But the mere mention of the her loved ones dead
That would bring back a memory so red
Does not stir this poor widowed child
Every time it's mentioned she'd smile
The smile would never show in bed
The girl would scream as if she'd seen the dead
But when the nurse came to see what was wrong
She had seen what scared her all along
Hands, bloody hands dragging the girl by her feet
The girl screamed as she clung to her bed sheet
But what lay next to her bed
A dagger covered in thick goo so red
Voices moaned murder as the girl shrieked out a plea
Her body turned to ash and shout out debris
Within that debris a scorched picture was found
It was of the girl with her family around
But if you looked into that young girl's eyes
You would find the reason her demise
A dagger was held behind her back
And the once deep blue eyes were a shade of black
She killed her family but the skeletons won
No one believed what that girl had done
It shows that a murderer lies
Even behind the deepest blue eyes.
