The Girl Under The Floor
With hair as dark as the night,
With eyes as blue as the morning sky,
Lived a girl part of a lie.
For when she was born,
She had to hide,
Every cry, scream, or hurt,
Every laugh, smile, or joyous memory
She has a brother,
As strong as a soldier,
Their bond as strong as ever.
For when the secret was found,
She was locked up,
Her mother killed for her sin.
For in this world,
A woman could have one child,
No more.
