The Well

We ran outside in the summer light.
Our vacation was spent completely outdoors on Grandma's farm.
We would even play into the mid summer night.
through the woods I'd grab my cousins arm
and run in circles until we fell in a dizzy daze.
One quiet morn she sat upon a well
and I snuck up on her in my childish ways.
I poked her ribs and she jumped then fell.
I peered over the rail into the black abyss.
which threw me into great alarm.
The adults will surely notice my cousin is amiss.
And how she does not call back means there is great harm.
I would have to tell my parents a story.
They won't believe their son could kill and lie.
Now my dear cousin is a mere memory.
and before it's too late, I'd like to say Goodbye.
