under her bed she can sleep for days
eyes on the door, holding her breath
she can lay very still that way
every noise climbs her spine, not ready to hear them yet,
yesterday feels miles away
today she is betrayed by her breath
she tries to think so silently
a command her thoughts won’t obey
she dreams of a tower, below a beautiful town
some place, she can't be found
the door opens quickly and the silence pours away
she digs her nails into the frame
a scene she will always replay
and now she is a child, too young to walk away
and now she can’t speak, her tongue is new and afraid
she dreams of a tower, below a beautiful town
some place, she can't be found
