Shady Friday, #4

Hello Bookworms!
I'm not sure why, but I went outside today to write a poem about wind and it turned into a dark and creepy poem. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this new style of writing, and if you have any thoughts on it please comment.
~
Whispers in the dark,
silence falls on the air.
Try to remark,
journey through endless despair.

A pale moon shines in her eyes,
the heavy burden she must carry.
Living in treachery and lies,
thrives the shadow maiden fairy.

Dark hair tossed up in the wind,
silence follows every stride.
Only once a child had grinned,
only to cower in fear and hide.

Midnight is her favorite hour,
defiant and strong against the light.
The spiders tremble, the bats cower,
striking fear in all, she takes delight.

The night it happened, darkness reigned;
just a child, her fears awakened.
A cheat, a prankster with naught to be gained, 
she left her home, not knowing the end.

Her mind then snapped, she confined herself,
embraced the fear, embraced the dark and wary.
Confined to one night, merely a doll on a shelf,
she then became the shadow maiden fairy.

And to this day when midnight tolls,
and ceases all the cheer and merry.
When Christmas Eve along it rolls,
remember fond, the shadow maiden fairy.

Thank you for reading that, I don't know much about poetry, but I've always loved reading it and rhyming words together. Please comment, follow, or something to let me know what you think!
Habent sua fata libelli!
