She Will
Oh children never fear
For what you’re about to hear
Is a prayer
Not a curse
But if you miss a single verse
A single word
Any mistake you make
She will know
That’s when you have a problem
Because be she far or be she near
She will hear
And come to take
You, who a mistake make
From your bed at night
And you will never again
Hear nor see
That which you deem to be yours
You family, your friends
You shall see never again
Not even your name will remain yours
Your one and only name
What defines the life in your veins
It will never be known to you again
So children, beware
Of that nasty, frightful fear
She will know you know
And creep
Creep from the deep
To take what is yours and keep
It all locked away in the deep
Away from you
Away from me
She will
But children, never fear
Recite the poem
Say the spell
I wish you well
Every night say the words
They will keep her away
Children beware
Never get it wrong
Or she will come
Then all hope will be gone
As you will be when she creeps
In your room at night
If you do not recite
A smirk on her lips
A glint in her eyes
She’ll whisper “Goodbye”
Her eyes wide with glee
“You’ll never be free”
