Butterfly Girl

I was a witness to hopes decay,
I was a light on your darkest day.

You were a secret I couldn’t tell;
You were a dream sent from hell.

I know you’ll haunt my every dream, 
You will be heard in every scream. 

My freedom is something I can never earn,
Even in death I know you’ll return. 

As I watch the blood flee from your skin,
I lie waiting for the nightmare to begin.
