Elise found it hard,
to live under a tree,
Her mother was a drugo,
and her father is never free.

So when she spoke up one night,
about what happened the night before.
It gave them all a fright,
then she walked right out the door

There was a fire in her heart,
and a light inside her soul.
That very night she left,
her mare gave birth to a foal.

No-one could care for the baby,
so it was left there to die,
Elise came back to rescue,
but was hidden behind her lies.

No-one has ever seen her,
its as if she never exists,
But when horses are rescued,
its always in a mist.

People are left to wonder,
sometimes even confused.
That girl that noone ever saw,
Found abandoned and abused
