SAID WAS SOMEONE SHE COULD HAVE EXPLAINED HER EMOTIONS AND MOODS TO, BUT TO SAID SHE DIDN'T NEED TO EXPLAIN THEM

TO HER EVERY WORD MEANT SOMETHING ELSE IF IT WAS SPOKEN BY SAID

AT TWELVE O THREE A.M.

SHE'S STILL GOT ALL THE VIDEO CASSETTES, EVEN THOUGH SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO WATCH THEM ON ANYMORE

LIVING IN THE PAST, DYING IN THE FUTURE

LYING AWAKE IN THE DARK, SLEEPING WITH THE LIGHTS ON

IT'S BEEN AGES SINCE SHE LAST WORE SOMETHING SHE DIDN'T WASH AND IRON HERSELF

SHE OPENED HER WINDOW TO LET THE STORM ENTER, AND SHE KNEW SOMEWHERE SAID WAS DOING THE SAME

SHE TOOK HER HEELS OFF AND STARTED RUNNING

IN NINETEEN FIFTY-EIGHT

SO HAPPY SHE COULD SCREAM

ANOTHER ONE DOWN

SHE FORGOT BOTH OF HER MUGS BESIDE THE KITCHEN SINK

THEN WHY DOES SHE STILL FEEL LIKE SHE'S A STRANGER EVERY TIME SOMEONE RINGS THE DOORBELL?

HER SUNGLASSES, HER PARENTS, HER HUNGER, SAID'S ADVICE

WHEN SAID WAS ABOUT TO TELL HER THE TALE OF PETER GREEN

NOT TO BE EITHER SAFE OR FREE, NO, SHE STILL WANTS BOTH AT THE SAME TIME

THE DARKNESS IN HER EYES, THE LIGHT IN HER HEART

THE LIGHT IN HER EYES, THE DARKNESS IN HER HEART

SHE TOOK HER PROMISE SERIOUSLY

AS SHE LET THE ICE CUBE MELT IN HER FIST

WHERE SHE HOPED NO-ONE ELSE BUT SAID WOULD FOLLOW HER
