Clarissa

Something hauntingly chilly (:

With only one exception, the cemetery
Was clearly vacant as the bright silver
Moon rose across the black skies.

A little girl sat quietly on the dull grass
Absent mindedly, twirling her delicate
Finger around her soft brown ringlets.

Embellished across her red, frilly dress
Diamonds and pearls sparkle flawlessly
In the dim light of the looming lamp post.

A dark, hooded figure walked warily past
The sharp and rusty gates of this chilling
Place that welcomes death with open arms.

Playing with her old, tatty teddy bear,
This angel of death tilted her heart
Shaped head to one side thoughtfully.

Her red, sinister looking eyes snapped
Straight towards the hidden figure who
Had paused at a plain looking grave.

The mysterious and unwanted intruder
Placed a bunch of pale pink roses on
The stranger's grave and prayed silently.

A cold breeze of icy wind blew past as
The young girl widened her eyes furiously
And drew a sharp intake of breath.

Slowly rising to her feet, she took a step
Forward into the moonlight, where her
prominent features stood out even more.

The trespasser noticed nothing and
Continued to pray faithfully, with no
Reaction towards the sudden screeching silence.

Little Angel of Death glided across the
Graveyard's stone pathways without a sound
Except the eeriness that always followed her.

Right up to the ignoring invader did she
Tip toe and whisper with a ghostly voice
"Looks like another soul shall join us tonight."

Another step forward.
Another frosty rush of wind.
Another piercing scream.
Another soul captured.

Dear little Clarissa smiled with her gleaming
Pearly teeth shining as bright as the moon,
"Welcome to hell, my dear."

The ending irritates me >.<
