I used to know you
We used to be sisters
I used to play with you
We had no brothers
It was just us
Just the two of us
No boyfriends
No toys you played with
And I miss it
I miss your dark brown hair and I miss your non makeup covered face
I miss you

The cold welcomes me
I feel old pleasant memories
I feel at home again
I hear the laughter of my sister
I hear my family's bickering
I taste snow I would scoop up and eat with my sisters
I taste cheap, but delicious hot chocolate
The cold welcomes me

War
Commanded by war
Controlled by the bombs
Whipped by the screams of a hurricane
Struggling to stay sane

Death's breath is combined with ours
when the time has come to collect our helpless souls
Clinging on to him
anything we can grab
We all gather under his patient eyes
Watching another day go by

Lights have to flash brightly
in our poor old eyes
the ones we use to cry
cry ourselves to sleep each night

I try to understand a way to know whom you are against the painted grays
Try to contrast the color of the skin compared to the others
I know that this is a sin
Me against you like you wanted to
Who are you to be in control?

We're crashing planes
Hunting in a maze
I'm trying to get a scent of you
I'll come back tomorrow and do it all over again

The moon shines on an illuminated ocean
flickers of a white reflection
the wax and wane of the ocean and moon
with each push and pull the ocean swoons
with people passing greeting with good afternoon
a little girl
she passes by the ocean’s swirl
releasing her prized possession

And then he told me that the only solution was to stand back up and fight
but I felt that I was only losing and I was right
Piercing through whatever was left of me
but not even he could see me die that night
and now everything is falling just because of one fight
