.....

Her eyes were open all along
She sees the darkness enfold her now
Can feel the mist thicken and roll
As her fingers grab nothing to hold

Cold sweat creeps, breaks her sleep
It has never been easy to breathe
While panic fills her wounded breast
She lays back down to undress

Moments pass and she shivers
Nothing can make her even remember
There is no one she left behind
No reason to now weep and cry

Get done with it and you can leave
Quietly, don't disturb her peace
Not like she cares what happens next
She'll sleep again, you were never there
