• Literal Lyrial
    She's anything but.
    whatever she says,
    you learn not to trust.
    If she says she's happy,
    lies twist in her gut,
    her emotions concealed
    her thoughts, who knows what.
    Literal Lyrial
    once had a best friend.
    Her name was Muriel
    till her untimely end.
    Muriel and Lyrial
    had gone for a stroll.
    They'd been neighbors for life,
    and for wandering was a scold.
    But in the shadows
    lurked the gallows
    and over to them they ran.
    Muriel loved to cause a fright
    by playing the criminal man.
    Lyrial and Muriel,
    as most teenagers do,
    thought themselves as immortal,
    no exceptions for fear ever grew.
    But as they strayed for far too long,
    and Lyrial's mother did shout,
    only Lyrial ran away
    to successfully get out.
    The pit had been sprung,
    the clocks had then rung,
    it was time to say good-bye.
    And as Lyrial turned
    to wave she learned
    that then Muriel had died.
    And to this day,
    Muriel does lay
    in the pit of the gallows and waits
    for Lyrial to save the day,
    her punishment for testing fate.
    Only Lyrial knows the tale of
    how Muriel died.
    And those who have found,
    pray, don't turn around,
    For Lyrial you may find.
