A Late Night Visit

Beneath the damp cemetery ground

A hero is laid to rest

Her head turned to the bright nights sky

Her hands folded over her chest

So young was she

To be taken from this world

So brave and selfless

But still just a girl

The love of her life stands over her now

Wishing that this wasn't true

He tried for so long to keep her safe

There was only so much he could do

He should have been there

To save her from this fate

If someone had only told him

But now it was too late
