Both Carter's POV. Written very shortly after the episodes. I was still highly emotional!

Shut Your Eyes

Squeeze my eyes shut
But I can see her on my eyelids
She's imprinted in all I do
In all that I am

It's not a happy image
Tinted red, in the shadows
A little girl, then more than ever
Frightened, alone and dying

I don't know if she heard
The last word I said to her
Her own name because
I could do little more

She's at every turn
My life, every person I see
All I see, every memory
Leads to her

Nothing Can.....

Nothing can explain to me
How my best friend, my student
My teacher, my every thing
Disappeared in the glint
Of a knife blade
Nothing can explain to me
Why the warm person she was
Now lies cold in the ground
Worm food, nothing more
Nothing can explain to me
How something so warm, so alive
Died by the slice of
Cold hard steel into her
Living, breathing chest
How?
