She wanted to belong

The stars are reflected in the water
Making the sky seem endless
She could so easily disappear into that endless sky
That dream
Especially on a nite like tonite

The waters calling her
She can hear it whisper her name
Carried across on that cold wind that’s slicing through the still nite
Like a knife
She can feel the blood pumping cold through her tired veins
And shes so tired of spilling it
Yet too worn by what she knows to catch it

She’s standing perfectly still
Listening to the lake
To herself
And a single tear forms on her cheek
She holds her breath as it runs down her face
And prays to herself as it hangs to her chin
But one blink
And it falls

(In slow motion)

Into the endless nite of the lake
And she knows then it’s too late
She’s already dead
