Description
Beneath the sun's relentless stare
a porcelain figure, dark of hair
Lily lies in solitude bare
bathing beneath shade's cool lair

her eyes, rubies in the sandy sprawl
echo the ocean’s mysterious call
a tale of terror they recall
of a teddy’s whisper, a childhood fall

her past, a narrative spun in thread
her youth, a book of dread
the sea hums the song of her stealthy tread
lullabies of the silenced dead

four years of silence, the senseless murders ceased
a lull in the storm, a temporary peace
but freedom unleashed the inner beast
the red tide returned, the endless killing feast

a life of drifting from doorways to dim lights
from innocent days to bloody, guilty nights
her footprints swallowed by ocean's might
speak tales of deeds shrouded in the night

mysteries unsolved, law enforcement's plight
with each receding tide, Lily takes flight
in the underworld’s arms, she finds respite
guarding her secrets under teddy's watchful sight
