Annalisa Annalisa
With your skin so fair
Your crimson lips
And auburn hair
Oh beloved Annalisa
Daddy’s little girl
Mommy’s angel
You left this world
My sweet darkling, Annalisa
With your empty eyes
Your smile hung wrong
By the gadflies
Why have you come, Annalisa
Full of rot and death
To touch each life
And steal each breath
Annalisa, Annalisa
Cloying through the mud
She comes for us
For familial blood

A dark, creepy, and wonderful poem.
I love this poem.
Lovely and so dark!
