You see a child walk forward

As pretty as can be

With but an innocent smile

But there is more to see

You see a tear stream down her cheek

Her lips trembling in the breeze

Her hands are shaking and sadly

You kneel down on your knees

You hold the child in your arms

Unaware of the danger within

And with a sharp pain in your neck

The work begins to spin.

This blithe babe is not as sweet

So innocent or pure

Her blue eyes glint with hatred

And to her you're allured.

Yet as vial as this creature is

Her intentions rotten so bad

Sympathy comes easily

For you cannot stay mad

A child is all you notice

Young of years and face

What lies in her heart be different

When a woman is in her place.

Years ago on a new mooned night

A man lurked around the town

A child sitting in the dark

Not knowing what was found

A law was broken that night

Not one of humans though

The vampire known as Lestat

Took a child oh so low

Trapped eternally as a girl

When her heart seeks so much more

He stole away her happiness

Eagerly closing the door

Forced to live forever

Nothing but a shell

Her heart beats older for her

As her mind can still dwell

On the life he stripped away

The things she'd never know

Like growing up and living

Rather then being Stowe

She was given every thing

From dolls to and pleasures fair

Yet her young mind yurned for more

Things that just weren't there

She wanted more then offered

Spoiled in the wrong way

Materials only go so far

Her mind was lead away

Love was a stranger

One she learned to fear

While they raised her properly

A woman, she was never near

Was it so suprising?

When her created almost died

While she held the stake

And not a tear was cried

She did not say false

She said what she had done

"Do not judge me" she pleaded

But there was no where to run

She cried out for her mother

As the sun rose in the sky

Strapped to a chair she waited

She waited just to die

There was no greater crime

Or so that's what they said

So while Lestat still lived

Poor Claudia was dead.
