Once upon a time

There was a girl cloaked in red

She walked a path of darkness

Alone, but for the wolf

That consumed her

The wolf once approached her

Disguised as a friend

And the girl cloaked in red

Trusted the lying wolf when he said

"Come closer, my dear

And have no fear"

So she walked a little closer

Till she was too far near

His sharp white teeth

And she found the wolf beneath

The friendly disguise

To the wolf she lost

Her light, her innocence, her laugh

And now the once bright shining girl

Must walk along a dark shadowed path

She is forever known

As the girl cloaked in red

Tricked by a wolf that looked like a friend
