Not Dead Yet

 

Not dead yet 

That's no guard 

It's not a ghost, nor a spirit

It's her cries, her world taken away 

Cries of the loved ones they robbed her

She's not crazy, not dead yet

Just confused 

Six months lone time in this haunted house, she's a new model 

Buried both parents in what kindred told her was a rare disorder

Rejected by everyone, termed her contagious and deadly (some said she'll also die soon, like she had the disorder already) 

She's not crazy, she's not sick (not even dead yet)

Just confused

All the efforts of the family to give her that life 

All the criticism in school after the death painted it all white 

Now mourns in the dark haunted house 

Stays alone, only the spirits keep her close 

Staring at the graves of the parents, hoping for answers

She's not crazy 

She's not dead yet

Just confused

Somebody please rescue Carmilla

She believes humans can't be trusted

Can't associate with anyone, not interested

Say she'll protect the house dear to her, nurse the graves of the only people who loved her

Claims she's not crazy

Very sure she's not dead yet

Just confused...
