She can taste memories on your lips
And the chapter of the hearts you collected
On the pulsing vein on your neck
So she used her tongue to sign an autograph
And paint a story over the broken cries you savoured

With your eyes glowing gold
Reach for me like I'm a fast fading light
Hold onto me like we are on a lifeboat and a really strong current would slam us over
Happiness is contagious
And it seeps into my bones as deeply as the warmth on a sunny day
Chasing away the chills in my soul
Pick me up like I'm a fallen star who has seen how majestic the skies are
Show me the way back to where I once shone so bright from

He says to me, "I will never let anyone hurt you."

This is when I made my first mistake... I believed him.

He said, "We are more than best friends... We are greatest friends. We are here to protect each other. We are like big brother and little sister."

He gains my trust and makes me believe that I am safe in his presence.
Constantly reminding me of sibling love.

Then, one day... It happened.
The thing I knew was going to happen all along.

He takes me boating, knowing my fear of water and my history of almost drowning.
He does that thing that makes me trust him.

He takes us out to the middle of the river. He calls me, "Little sis."

Next thing I know, he is threatening to drown me, if I don't do what he wants.

I am scared. What do I do? Thoughts are speeding through my head.
I played along and after he says,

"Little sis. You know how much I love you."
We shatter no illusions
when  breaking through
the looking glass.

Be the blanket
That keep you warm
