Under the night sky
Every moonless night
You might catch a glimpse
Of a beautiful girl
At a distance she appears as a human girl
But as you come closer
She becomes your worst nightmare
With her long hair made from shadows
And her gray eyes staring into your soul
Her shadowy dress trails out behind her
And two owls perch upon her small shoulders
If she sees you, your soul belongs to her
She feeds on it, as well as your shadow
Some people believe she is lost in our world
And our souls can help her return to her home
Others believe she was killed before marriage
For her dress resembles a simple wedding dress
But all we know for sure
Is that the shadowy girl
Is the ruler of the night
And the daughter of the shadows themselves
