A mind wanders in the dead of night
With only its thoughts for company in the dark of night
A girl wears her heart on her sleeve
She is lonely, drinking away the memories of that night
A toddler screams until there is no longer any air left in his tiny lungs,
He had been smothered to the bots from that night
A boy injects love into his bloodstream
Crying out oceans to the silence of the night
An arrow stays stuck in a man's battered and bruised chest
Only because his life didn't matter that night
The bow is placed in the hands of a tattered and tainted woman
Because a man wouldn't give his soul away to the night
And Kathryn sits and smirks at how no one seems to know
That life is coming to and end, after tonight
