OPEN YOUR EYES
Life can go as quickly as it comes
You toss and you turn
If only I had been there
You would be okay
Your face is flushed
Your body covered in sweat
Slowly the cloth on your forehead dries up
I watch and I wait
And we all pray
You shouldn't have jumped
You shouldn't have tried
One by one the others enter the room
Please...
Open your eyes
You should've run
You should've hid
But you jumped in front of them
And you got hit
It's dark and lonely
Without you here by my side
Everything is so different
You gasp for air
And I watch you cry out in pain
If only I had been there
Then things wouldn't have turned up this way
Everyone feels pain
But none like mine
You must wake up
I need you
Please...
Open your eyes
What had you been thinking
When you jumped out right in front
You knew you would get hit
You knew you were defenseless
So why
You have shown us kindness
You have shown us life
I can only watch
You gasp for air
As I change your cloth
Open your eyes
Please...
We need you
Why
One by one
The others enter the room
To come and check on you
They stay and wait for a while
Soon they leave
How utterly shameful
However
Just like I promised
I will always stay here by your side
Your hands are like ice
Your eyes are shut tight
The pain that you are feeling
I can feel it too
What a dandy life to live
When you must feel so much pain
The story I was told
I was sure it was a lie
But then they brought you inside
What a shock it was for me
To see you like that
The dress you wore
Was stained with blood
In her arms you tossed and turned
Never will I forget how you called out my name
You voice was filled with horror and pain
Then you fell unconscious
That was the last time
I heard your voice
Heard you call my name
You have always cheered me on
Supporting me when I am down
When I was sick you took care of me
You always knew what to say
Just like I've done the same for you
But now when you need me most of all
I can't do anything
But watch you toss and turn in pain
I change your cloth once again
And as I place it on your forehead
One of my tears falls onto your face
I should've been there
I should've been there for you
But you ran off with the others
And you told me to stay with Kiyone to watch the house
You said that you had to lead them into the forest
I trusted they would protect you
But I still worried and I still prayed
You scream in pain
Everyone runs inside
They look at us
I shake in horror
I hold you hand tighter
You lay still
Gasping for air again
Then there comes a small whisper
And everyone leans in close
Your lips move as you try to get out the words
Three more gasps are taken
My hand squeezes yours tighter
Finally come the words
The words you've been trying to say
Barely audible, but we hear what you say
"Ayeka...Ayeka," you cry, "help me Ayeka"
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
I beg
I sobbed and shake you
Calling out your name
But that's all you say
Tears continue to fall from my eyes
As you once again cry out in pain
Open your eyes
Please
Open your eyes
Look at the sun
See the green grass
The light blue sky
With the puffy clouds floating by
Look at the flowers, which sway in the wind
Open your eyes
Please open your eyes
Let us see them again
Let us see you again
Let me see your smile
Let me see your innocent face
Let me hear your joyful laugh
Please don't die
Please don't leave me alone again
Please don't disappear
Disappear into the darkness
You're the one whom I love best
Everyday I've tried to protect you
Everyday I looked and watched out for you
We are each other's lights
If yours goes out
Then so does mine
Please
Open your eyes
Please
Please
Your breathing slows
But I know there's still hope
Please wake up
Please don't leave
You whimper a little
And then there's a cough
You move you little hand a bit
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
"Sasami!" I cry
"Sasami!" I cry once more
However I still don't get an answer
Finally I break down
"SASAMI!" I cry
"PLEASE DON'T LEAVE ME SASAMI!"
I beg and I shake you hard
"OPEN YOUR EYES SASAMI!"
The others grab me
And I collapse in their arms crying
"Sasami" I cry
I look down and my head shakes
"Sasami"
"Sasami"
"Sasami"
I cry and I cry and I cry
Then when I finally look up at you again
I see you shake
Then slowly you open your eyes
*Ayeka*
