In this moment so long
There is a figure
Standing
Alone in their sorrow
Wailing out their soulful cries
Wishing so strongly
To have said a proper farewell

Peace, peace
The blind wish
A divine, indeed
Yet so temporary
It only lasts for a moment
Before chaos breaks
With the turn of the tide

Hear me, oh sorry one
I hear your cries
To the fates each night
"Grant me love, to last forever!"
You cry
I hear
Longing to hold you
Alas, I cannot
For we are worlds apart
I cannot mend your broken heart
Even with the most infallible thread
It cannot be tended
Without collapse

Hear me, oh anxious one
I hear your cries
To the stars above
"Send me a sign,"
You plead
"So that I may know what to do."
You wish to know
I hear it
Your soul
Alas, I cannot help
Unless you allow me
Within those walls of stone

Awaiting the moment
When all shall be well
The roaring quieted
The monster caged
Silenced for a time
Of peace

Security of the ones you love
Protect them with your life
And all you have
Give onto them

Give them shelter
Give them warmth
Give them food
Give them water
Give them hope

Be with them in their darkest hours
In their moments of weakness
Keep them strong
Build them up
And never let them go

Here one lies
Stomach aching
Throbbing
Unknown reasons
Trying to sleep,
She grabs the sheets
Pulls them over her head
And hides
From the world
And it's cruel, cruel truth

So I say
"Make me feel better"
To my mother
She kisses my head
Tries to ease me
Yet all she can do
Is give me a pill
And wait

So I say
"Make me feel better"
To myself
Only, I reply;
"Never,"
"For you shall never be."

Here I lay
Aching in my stomach
And other little common things
But still
No matter how much medicine I take
That's not all the pain I feel
And none of it goes away.

Can
       You
              Hear
                       Me
                             Sing
                                     Myself
                                                 To
                                                       Sleep?

Constantly calling
Forever haunting
Will it ever be known?
This terrible truth?

Tired eyes
Barely open
Never catching a single solid time
All broken
Fractured
See me
And save me

Oh friend
Lift me up
I am slipping
Going under
White wings
Tainted
Faded to black
To which I am falling into
Unable to escape

Worlds collide
Creatures indestructible
Consuming the invisible
The land of the water bear
