She walked with grace
Innocence, purity, naivety
Clad in a white linen gown
Walking through where the faries play
Leaping and dancing with a euphoria and innocence of childhood
Laying in the long grass as the wind caressed her rosy cheeks
Her long golden curls tumbling down her back in a dissary of soft locks
Blown around by the wind as she danced
Not a care in the world
A cherub like smile on her fair porcelain face.

She walked with innocence.
She walks with demurity.
Darkness, austerity, the weight of her newly gained knowledge dragging her down.
She stopped checking for monsters under her bed
"They're not under my bed. The monsters are inside me."
Clad in an aubergine velvet gown.
Walking through the forest to the cliff
Past the brown grass to the raging waters
She has seen the world
More than she had hoped to see
Her naivety dissolving into the wind that once caressed her rosy cheeks, now demure and hollow
Her torchwood locks straight down to a blunt edge just above her chin
The problems of the world like a weight on her chest
Suffocating her, weighing her down.
She walks to the edge of the cliff and looks down
The raging waves crash against the rocks with the force of a thousand charging animals
She turns and looks at me
Her once bright eyes now dark and filled with sorrow bore into mine
I reach my hand out to pull her away from the edge
She doesn't reach back
Instead she falls backwards with an apologetic look
"I'm sorry" she says with her cloudy visage
I run and to no avail try to save her
It's too late
She plummets down, down with more force than the waves, gaining speed as she falls into the waves
With a loud crash her body makes contact with the rocks and waves
A body once full of joviality now lifeless
Her mauve gown clinging to the crushed bones of her translucent skinned body

She walked with grace.
I don't know. :shrug:

Eh. I don't like it.
I LOVE IT! Even though it's a little disturbing.
