Fall asleep to dreams of home,

where the waves are crashing.

The only place I've ever known..

Now the future has me.

I see the fire in the sky, see it all around me,

I said, "The past is dead. The life I had is gone,"

Pain laced her expression, in tired attempts to be hidden. She was fractured, breaking; Thus it was difficult to construct an emotional barrier. Fingering her knuckles would be the first thing she did, twirling them about one another in a vain manner. Her eyebrows ebb'd, lashes obstructing the view to her eyes. They always were notoriously long. Her voice quivered, words seeming to drown in her vocals.

She clears her throat.

"I-I ju.."

She stumbles over her words, tongue prodding at her lip; like a fleshy finger poking about.

Try again.

"I just want... To go back."
