Face down in the water, she was found, unknown,

a mystery shrouded in the middle of Chorlton's grace,

No name breathed out, no story to call her own,

her life lost in a fleeting, haunted trace,

Lime-green top, drifting in endless sleep,

jeans covered in watery hue lay tragically still,

A tragic tale over the banks, sorrows deep

her mystery longers, pushing against our will.

Detectives approach the press in tears,

their words carried out in a broken sound,

begging the public to come forward and flow,

so her identity will hopefully be found,

standing unified, their voices resound

urging all to help her identity to be found.
