A Banshee's lullaby

She heard voices

They were all in her head

Making choices

Screaming to the dead

Nothing that they ever said

Could make the voices go away

There was no light to be shed

There was no other way

Screaming always hurts

And when she does it for a friend

No matter the efforts

Her heart won't mend

Her hair was red

A wall of confidence

When she raised her head

They would all be dead
