A little girl sat
Inspired on her bed
She wrote a poem
Of a young love
A tragic end came to it
Compassion brought tears
To all who read of this love
Many years came to fly
The little girl turned to a woman

A young man came to ask
For her hand
Would she take his ring?
Against the dreams & hopes
Of her parents greed
She said yes to her fiance
Forsaked money & family
Her heart was stronger
She ran off to be eloped
They streamed down the road
Didn't want to waste any time
Holding hands in pure happiness
They slipped off the road
A unseen cliff lurked ahead
It swallowed them whole
They never did see the danger
Laughing all the way
The greeted eternity together
Her mother's eyes
Wept with a river of tears
As the bodies were lowered
Into the darkness
Her father was stunned
To realize that he had lost his heir

Days feel through the hourglass
When someone stumbled
Upon the poem
Written by the little girl
That told of her own demise
