Tears dripped onto the page Sara was holding. She remembered her dream last night. She had been dressed in smoke, singing to someone in the shadows.
How can you see into my eyes
Like open doors?
Leading
you down into my core
where I've become so numb.
The tears fell faster and faster.
Without a
soul
my spirit's sleeping somewhere cold
until you find it
there and lead it back home.
She knew she had to stop the crying, but it felt so good. The mask was crumbing.
Wake me up
inside.
Wake me up inside.
Call my name and save me from the
dark.
She looked at her letter to her man in the shadows. She had begun to sing out loud.
Bid my blood to
run.
Before I come undone.
Save me from the nothing I've
become.
She didn't see the shadow at the door.
Now that I know
what I'm without Bring me to life. Frozen inside without your touch,
you can't just leave me.
Breathe into me and
make me real
Bring me to life.
I've
been living a lie
There's nothing inside.
Bring me to
life.
without your love,
darling.
Only you are the life among the dead.
A tear that wasn't hers fell outside.
All of this
sight I've been sleeping a 1000 years
it seems. Without a
thought Don't let me die
here
I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark
but
you were there in front of me
I've got to open my eyes to everything.
Without a voice
Without a soul
There must be something wrong.
Bring me to life.
She started a new song. The tears fell like rain, from the shadow and from Sara.
I tried to kill
the pain
but only brought more
I lay dying
and I'm
pouring crimson regret and betrayal
I'm dying praying bleeding
and screaming
am I too lost to be saved
am I too lost?
She pulled a rope from the drawer. It was covered in her blood.
My God my
tourniquet
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me salvation
She stopped crying as she began tying the rope around her neck.
Do you remember
me My God my tourniquet
lost for so long
will you be on the other side
or will
you forget me
I'm dying praying bleeding and screaming
am I
too lost to be saved
am I too lost?
return to me salvation
my God my tourniquet
return to me
salvation
Someone slowly came in to the room.
My wounds cry
for the grave
my soul cries for deliverance
will I be denied
Christ?
Tourniquet
my suicide
She pulled the rope. Someone cut the rope from behind. Then she realized. It was Catherine.
Hold on to me
love
you know I can't stay long
all I wanted to say was I
love you and I'm not afraid
can you hear me?
Can you feel
me in your arms?
She gasped out a new part.
Holding my last
breath
safe inside myself
are all my thoughts of you
sweet
ruptured light it ends here tonight
A new voice sung:
If you want
to
I can save you
I can take you away from here
So lonely
inside
So busy out there
And all you wanted
Was somebody who
cares
Sara's vision started to come back. She looked up at the woman so tenderly holding her. Two voices rung out in the stillness:
Tell me did the
wind sweep you off your feet
Did you finally get the chance to
dance along the light of day
And head back to the milky way
And
tell me, did Venus blow your mind
Was it everything you wanted to
find
And did you miss me while you were looking for yourself out
there
The tears were gone, banished by the love that had finally come out of the shadows.
