Finished by Emily L. (Not Moony)

It never used to be empty
Little girls always loved to swing
But death and rumors
Strip away happy memories

They all knew of Clara
Diana's bestest friend
Always together side by side
Until Clara walked up sky's steps

They never saw the blood
They never heard the screams
But the reals of the swing
Somehow seemed terrifying now

The little girls left the park
Bad memories and dark shadows
Clinging at the edges
You know,
They could never get the bloodstains out.

The little girls grew up, came back
With braver (or more foolish) hearts
