Voices fill the halls at night

Echoes fill the air

Footsteps creeping up the stairs

He asks ‘’Is someone there?”

Awakened by nightmares

Taunted by her smile

Suffocating from the guilt

Whispers in his ear

The truth revealed

Her voice from beyond

Drifting in and out of sleep

The walls are closing in

Muddy tracks across the floor

Shadows on the wall

Autumn and her mother

Linger through the night

As the morning sun reveals

Her hanging in the light

The truth revealed

Her voice from beyond

High on that hill by her grave

Hung from the limb, the crows they feed

Crowds gather around in awe

Her gown a map of murder

A trail of blood that leads to him

 Dragged him out and through the woods

Bludgeoned and beaten the demon will hang

Above her grave an empty noose

Hung by her, now fit for him
