A Girl Named 'Riddle'

You cannot understand her
She's far different from the others
She's a puzzle full of tender
Her world was once filled with wonders
Her temple was a vase
Sometimes a ghost, sometimes a chase
She was a girl born to race
With humanity's ugly case.
A lady so young and sweet
The world was once beneath her feet
A girl with a thousand heartbeats
She who rather die than to cheat.
A babe who they all once loved
Treated like an angel above
Who once soared like a dove
But threw her away like a glove.
Just one mistake she had made
Made her hard skin scratched by a dull blade
A silly mistake she'd made
Made her turn into a scar that starts to fade.
An illness they had treated her
Everyone, even her father
Depression took over her
After what they did to her.
"I cannot blame them," she thought
"Those temptations I should have fought
I'm not everybody's sought
Are second chances ever bought?
I wish to have another life
To live a life of a saint or a wife
Maybe I should grab a knife
And finally end my own life."
On deck, a paper and pen
Was found, but she's never again
Was seen nor heard for days of ten
Never did she was found since then.
Written on that piece of paper
Was a message, a short letter
"In your eyes, I was pepper.
This is to make everything better."
Riddle signed it with her blood
Then everyone went to her pod
There they saw her dead bod
Which made them gasp and scream, "Oh God!"
You can't understand a riddle
Unless you were in the middle
Playing a little senseless fiddle
Inside the falling tower of Eiffel.
The lesson: You must never lie
Or you'll be filled with guilt and die
For second chances you can't buy
Regret now and later fly high.
