A shadow moves swiftly through the darkness. It kills me not to know this but I've all just but forgotten…

Yelling follows the figure as it moves faster through the village. What the colors of her eyes are, her scars and how she got them…

Long, black hair shinned as the full moon looked down upon it. As the telling signs of age rain down a single tear is dropping

Moving across the ground soundlessly.
Through the valleys of an aging face that this world has forgotten

Escaping the voices that hunted her. There is no reconciliation that will put me in my place

Running and running, she was like a huntress.
And there is no time like the present to drink these draining seconds

Fast, calm, skillful, knowing and deadly beautiful.
But seldom do these words ring true when I'm constantly failing you

Knowing her friends were waiting for her.
Like walls that we just can't break through until we disappear

As she moved, more voices joined in. So tell me now, if this ain't love then how do we get out?

Wishing that no one had found out about them. Because I don't know

Thinking of the past. That's when she said I don't hate you boy

Her mom, always smiling, even as she died.
I just want to save you while there's still something left to save

The sound of her mom's laughter.
That's when I told her I love you girl

Her father, a distant memory.
But I'm not the answer for the questions that you still have

His strong and proud stances. But the day pressed on like crushing weights

The way he talked, with kind authority. For no man does it ever wait, like memories of dying days

His back as he walked out the door for the last time. That deafen us like hurricanes, bathed in flames we held the brand

The curl smile on Nelly's lips as she looked at her died sister. Uncurled the fingers in your hand

The morning, coming with a new fear. Pressed into the flesh like sand

Being beaten for being a 'monster.' Now do you understand?

Finally escaping, with nothing but hope and the moon.
I don't hate you, I don't hate you, no
