And oh, my little sister, when the drugs were wearing off
I climbed into your bed and said, "I think I did too much"
The balcony latch gently clicked as she crawled back into her bed, curling up against the chest of the other sole occupant of the room.
"Oh girl, you're okay I got you." She felt the warmth of arms wrapped around her pulling her in more. They kept her hidden as she shook.
In some ways that was simpler, being too fucked up to see
I didn't have to wake up to the world that was around me
'It's gonna be okay, M, I got you." Marinette felt a kiss being pressed into her hair. "Do you need to talk about it?"
And now we are awake and it seems too much to take
I want to close my eyes because I fear my heart will break
She felt soft hands gently guide her face up to meet concerned amber eyes. Slowly she shook her head as an answer, tears glistening against the blue. Her whisper broke, "I'm sorry Alya."
I want to look away, I want to look away
I want to look away, I must not look away
She could still hear the screams and feel the heat blistering against her face. The scars that lace and split open her skin ache despite the cure she sent out moments ago.
She could still hear his ragged breath, feel his slowing heart beat as she locked onto his fading eyes, unable to miss the drop in his weight as his breathing stopped.
As his heart stopped.
As he stopped.
Yet the screaming was so much louder.
Don't go blindly into the dark
In every one of us shines the light of love
A soft melody brought her out of the past, the words were muffled but she understood. She knew she was safe, the fire long extinguished, the screams long silenced. Listening to the stable heart beat and the unintelligible melody. She was safe, it was over.
Alya continued to sing, lulling the shorter girl to sleep, slowly stroking her blue locks. She watched her girl's breathing slow and her shoulders relax. She was safe, she was loved.
"I got you M, I got you."
Don't go blindly into the dark
In every one of us shines the light of love
