The Maiden In White

I saw her,

The maiden in white

She was crying

In the middle of the night.

Oh yes

I did see her

In my yard,

I am 100 percent sure.

I was drinking water,

When I heard a soft cry.

I looked at a woman

And asked 'why?'

She made no reply,

But continued to weep

And I presumed

That she was hurt inside deep.

Yes, she stood right there,

Looking like a lump

But little did I know

That she was about to jump.

She sobbed a little,

Then looked at me,

And then she jumped.

I couldn't believe what I had to see.

I had no heart

To go and see

Her dead outside.

But, I am a brave little soul, this is me.

I went to see,

But there was absolutely no one.

I went to bed scared,

Until up rose the sun.

I told my creepy tale

To everyone I knew,

They all laughed and smirked at me,

Except for a few.

But I shall carry this memory to my grave

Of the maiden in white.

She was crying

In the middle of the night.
