The Dark Governess

Dark she was, obscure as a labyrinth,

Some chased her, she chased some.

A mystery, an enigma, she kept by herself,

Not a soul realized her true self.

Alone and petrified, cursed as evil,

She enunciated but the truth.

Timeless she stood, Boundless she stood,

Relentlessly gazing an unblinking stare.

For the light is just an illusion, she sued,

Darkness the face unmasked.

Her embrace so forgiving,

Singing a melodious lullaby,

Hushing us into a dim forever.

She sees no form, sans shape she is,

She’s a silhouette in our dreams.

Calling upon us, on a journey

Our final expedition to the lights,

She’s the end, our death.
