Ok, I know a lot of you just disregard songfics. But I really think I nailed this one.
"Rain clouds come to play again."
Raindrops are just the soft tears of anguished souls.
Behind locked eyes, memories bring Brennan back to the shadowed day. Drowsy slumber, a gift to human nature, is left neglected by forthcoming disturbing reflection.
"Playground school bell rings again."
After 15 or so years, horrible imagery still comes back.
For since that day, fear is chiseled into the complexity of her mind. They had left her first, then Russ. Alone in that chilled house. Abandoned to contemplate the odds of her survival, estimating the time it would take for someone to notice her absence from the world. Surely someone would remember the shy, unassertive girl.
"Don't cry."
Burning remembrance attacks her in her sleep, she twitches whilst silent tears come from the hollows of her saddened eyes. It is not the first time. Angered dreams come often to Temperance.
"Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping."
"Soon I know I'll wake from this dream."
Always, she jars awake, petrified at the thought of being alone. Scarier yet, is the realization that she has been for a long string of years. It is her fear that motivates her. Brennan knows all too well that she can pretend. She can mask herself behind her profession. Intelligence gives her the key to fooling many.
"If I smile and don't believe."
The attitude she gives away so easily hides the shattered being hidden inside her soul.
"All that's left of yesterday."
Only one has seen inside, and the key he holds is riddled with emotion. He is the only one who truly understands, as many have tried. The only Temperance they have reached, is one that has fooled herself.
"Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken."
The hardest thing she faces in the aftershock of those dreadful nights, is the question. Have I hidden myself from me?
"Hello?"
