Running through the forest,

A girl so sweet.

Following her a boy

She happened to meet

Climbing the trees,

She held a hand

The boy grabbed it,

Lifting himself off land

They gazed up above.

"Isn't this so nice?"

The girl looked over,

The boy blinked twice.

The tree began shaking

The girl looked down

Monsters and dark shadows

All on the ground

"I'll keep you safe!"

The boy moved close.

The girl was shaking,

Hugs soothed the most.

The beasts began ascending,

One latched onto him

He kicked it down.

The lights growing dim.

Looking into red eyes,

She asked with fear,

Her eyes with tears,

"Will we die here?"

The boy said no.

She looked away meekly

The boy pulled away

To extend his pinky

"I promise you, Rose."

She began to lean,

Before showing a smile,

"I trust you...Jean."

Thinking upon her smile

Stuck on that day

Her brown, beautiful eyes

Now long faded away

Lost in the fog,

Alone in the deep

Bound by a promise

That he couldn't keep
