Peacebreaks

While I was asleep you turned this water into walls

You taught yourself how jump, not how to break your falls

While I was asleep you drew a picture full of pain

And now your favorite shirt is ruined 

The arms are full of stains

While I was asleep you wished that you could simply die

But you haven't enough courage 

So you'll just lay there and cry.

A strong north wind blew in over the water 

And she tilt her head back, saying goodbye to the stars forever

No more pretending that I'm alright

Or talking to the moon and never sleeping at night

The courage blew into her hands with the wind

And the flame sprung forth

Feeding itself on her skin 

Though the tears ran down her face

She smiled as if she had never seen the light 

Nor heard a sound so sweet 

As the breeze blowing through where her body had been

She twisted in agony and then lay still

The waves lapping beside her 

Trying to reach the flames 

Whispering I'm sorry I'm sorry

Over and over again.
