The Curse of Voice and Void
The girl was known to love to talk
And through the woods, she'd sing and walk
She helped her friend hide the trail
With endless stories without fail
The queen, angered by the nymph's deceit,
Cursed her words to be incomplete
She tried to speak but sounds would flee
And only others words would be
She wandered lonely through the trees
With no one around to hear her pleas
Until one day, she heard a voice
And followed it without a choice
Within a clearing she could see
A boy who stared where water gleams
She tried to speak, her heart aflame
But only his words came out the same
He turned away and left her there
And gave her not a single care...
