Listening

That night it surfaced again, she'd felt it closing in
Like a hand of steel, bending the carefree neck
Tightening so hard until she brakes, free from fever
Free from everything, at least for now...

The morning broke, sunbeams shattered her fear
A new day dawning, but still she same
Pounding headaches, the returning of fever
Not having the strength to fight it off
Her esteem for darkness tore her deep down
As nighttime advanced, on the sly, stressful

She's out cold, blank features, no movement
Come get me, I'm dying, please help me!
Her eyes shine, they blind me, can't help her
Ш listen, her heart stops, and I die with her

I'm shivering, feverish, broken down by constant grief
At nighttime I meander, blaming myself
She became that hand of steel bending the carefree neck
Tightening so hard

I'm out cold, blank features, no movement
My eyes shine, i'm blinding, can't save me
Don't want to, let me go, sleep away...
